Flush draw in huge pot hits
 

I'm new to the short handed scene, just started today actually. One of the first hands on the table so no real reads other than its a pretty loose game (you can probably tell by the preflop action). Comments welcomed on all streets. I'm mostly concerned on if I should slow down on this turn or not and if I should raise this river or hope button will do it for me so I can three bet.

yeah, playing the stone cold nuts is hard ....

i just call the flop bet planning to pull the dumbest call/cap ever. you can be pretty sure that button raises this flop, and you kind of give yourself a better chance to keep everyone donating.

oh and from now on i hereby declare that any time someone does calls and reraises later on the flop, it is to be called a donkpunch.

goody, more terminology. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

standard. Miles is right, you could play the flop all meek. But it's not compulsory.

River i raise because button must realise is at least chopping with an A, if not beat.

nice hand neighbor I think you played this perfectly

Re: Flush draw in huge pot hits
 

I don't raise this flop, ever. I might do Miles' call/cap, but really I'd rather just wait until I flush to screw around. This is a prime board for sets.

If it's 5 way on the flop I'm definitely pumping as long as it's not kicking anyone out. If it's 3-way I'm definitely not. If it's 4-way it depends on the exact situation, I could go either way.
