$55 How would you play this hand?
 

In the spirit of the MTT "play a hand with the masters" post. I'd be interested to know how you'd play this hand.

This is the 8th hand. I have played one hand. Limping in LP, then folding to a flop bet. Villain has played 3 hands, 2 limps then flop folds, one call of a 50 pre flop bet in SB, then calling a 50 flop bet before folding to a 200 turn bet (when the flush draw didn't hit?).

I'm assuming preflop is standard, but maybe not?

Check/fold

Re: $55 How would you play this hand?
 

Given your read on the villain I would check-raise the flop and, if you can knock out the caller, lead the turn. If SB calls then you're screwed. Any broadway on turn is a turbomuck...but if a blank falls and it's you vs. villain I would throw out a medium-sized bet and fold to a push.

Then again I just got back from a vacation playing SH and I am an aggressive *&()((*.

Depends on whether I'd won the sidebet for that hand. If I'd won my All Red bet then I'd be shoving my chips in and feeling lucky. If not then it's early days with arsey blinds and maybe there are better opportunities later.

As for the hand, check/fold probably.

Yup.

This doesn't look like it's going to go the way of play a hand with the masters.

Re: $55 How would you play this hand?
 

Maybe not, but considering how few hands I actually play past the flop, I thought the hand could be analysed...

Anyway back to the hand....

You've already cocked up by betting the flop with the ignorant part of the straight and with three overcards there. Now is the time to check/fold, as you should have on the flop.
