nut straight on monotone flop
 

This hand was terribly played. At what point do I let this go? It felt like a sin to drop it on the flop, the turn tiny raise was begging a call, and by the river it was a tiny bet. Yuck

Edit: villain is 36/20 and normal aggression. nothing stupid from him so far.
Edit2: 50NL. converter is bad.

Re: nut straight on monotone flop
 

im 3betting this flop - minraise is just probably a 4flush or straight draw with maybe a pair to go along with it.

nonheart turn i'm betting 2/3 to 3/4 pot and MAYBE folding to a raise - depends on what he does.

on a nonheart river i'm most likely putting him AI.

Re: nut straight on monotone flop
 

Given stacks, when UTG raises the flop it's push-or-fold time. I push. If he flopped the flush he's getting my money anyway, but I want to price him out of everything else.

Re: nut straight on monotone flop
 

Two thoughts:

1) Villain has two hearts about 1/3 of the time (thanks Grunch [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). So 2/3 of the time you're winning this hand. That's pretty good equity and certainly worth calling down as long as another heart doesn't hit.

2) At the current stack sizes, calling a PSB on each street will result in your whole stack going in by the end of the hand.

Put these two thoughts together and I'm pushing on the flop.

Re: nut straight on monotone flop
 

Does the fact that BB hasn't folded until after I call villain's minraise change anything?

Re: nut straight on monotone flop
 

Initially, I was thinking, just call the flop. I don't really like pushing because I felt that would only get you called by made flushes and maybe a hand like K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. You have no redraws against a flush, and your something like 57/43 against a pair with a draw.

However, you can't let BB stick around. If you just call, your giving him 6 to 1. I would put him on the heart draw after he check-called a pot sized bet. I would 3 bet to price out BB.

Another thing. As played on the flop, why didn't you raise the turn? He bet 5 into a 40 something pot. That signals weakness and/or flush draw to me.

Re: nut straight on monotone flop
 

I'd push turn or fold flop(to his c/r). Decide on the flop how far you want to go, your hand isn't going to improve

Personally? That is a terrifying flop. But it could have been for the others too. I would have bet half the pot on the flop seeing the possible {*Royal*} Flush to gather information, and folded to any raise from UTG considering what you say about his history.
