I don't think this is a Clarkmeister since we actually have the flush; betting isn't a bluff. There's no way in hell I'm folding to a raise.

It is actually. Clarkmeister says whether you have it or not.

I'd 3-bet preflop. I think that would be std blind defense, no? I like betting out flop, as you can just call villian's raise and draw to your [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Leading the turn is fine too, as he showed weakness and might fold to a bigger bet if he doesnt have a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. River id bet/call. If you check he might check thru your flush and thats bad.

hero bets and calls a raise.

Re: A10 in BB vs button Raise
 

Against a TAG, a blind steal is highly likely. I'd 3-bet and see what he does. Either way I think I'm leading the flop.

Definately bet the river. Call a raise. The 10 high flush is decent, but the smaller [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]s lower your chances slightly.

Re: A10 in BB vs button Raise
 

if you were semi-bluffing all the way, why would you check when you hit????? I think a TAG would have raised the flop with a big heart.

Re: A10 in BB vs button Raise
 

You MUST 3bet or fold preflop. I typically 3bet against 25% blind steal or more, fold if worse. Bet/call that river dude.

9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]? A six? Rivered two pair? A bluff?

Re: A10 in BB vs button Raise
 

Why did you take the action on each street that you did? If you don't know, you need to work on deciding why you do what you do. One technique is to articulate it to yourself mentally or even out loud on every action.

I think a bluff is the most likely of any of those, followed by the 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], perhaps something like A9. I don't know what a TAG was stealing with that would have rivered him two pair.

That said, I still don't see the TAG raising this river with anything we beat more than the necessary 10.8% of the time we'd need to call the raise profitably. Could anybody think of a decent range of hands?
