Default Re: Ugly level 3 hand

If the continuation bet made me feel commited, I would have just gone all-in after the flop to make villain make a tough decision if he was just on a flush draw. His call may have been "I have a king" or it may have been "cool, I am drawing to my flush cheaply."

Alternately, I might have checked the flop and folded to fight another day, knowing I possibly laid down the best hand (but also knowing that I might have also been behind). I like the second plan less because it is passive but it leaves you enough at the new blind level to push and have it actually mean something. Plus even if villain has two overs and the flush draw only, he can justify calling and has a strong chance of outdrawing you anyway.

Maybe if he puts in a teaser bet you check-raise him all-in and make him go away.

Not sure which option I like best but I think it's in order... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
