Obviously I need to be raising this flop, but I've got less of an idea of how to react to the reraise. Anyway, I suck at playing "poker," so help me out.

Re: (55) playing a baby flush
 

Check-raise all-in on the turn. The beauty about this is it looks like a semi-bluff rather than a made hand.

Re: (55) playing a baby flush
 

Make a real raise on the flop. Your raise lets people in brutally cheap.

I'm with tigerite, I'm check raising the turn all-in. In a very very general sense, baby flushes are like my KK pf. I very rarely lay them down.

Re: (55) playing a baby flush
 

There is no guarantee Button will bet the turn if you check to him. If I were playing this hand, I'd just get it all-in on the flop. Button seems to be playing a set or maybe a pair with nut flush redraw.

Get it all in on the flop.

What happens when you call and the turn is the T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?

Re: (55) playing a baby flush
 

What do you put the button on? Either you have him beat and should raise and reaise on the flop or at least the turn and get all the money in or you think he has you beat in which case you should fold(which is the wrong answer imo). Anyways calling off half your stack is the worst option. I'd get all the money in and let the chips fall where they may.

Re: (55) playing a baby flush
 

Make a bigger raise the first time around on the flop, and shove it all in after the button reraises.

Yeah... I'm a big pussy.
