Re: Value bet straights and flushes when the board pairs
without looking:
Hand 1:
the flop raise puzzles me. You have an inside straight draw and an overcard.
You may have 5.5 outs. You do not make our hand often enough for a raise.
I would call and let Button call.
At the end a raise is fine since the worst thing that can happen is that you
split the pot (unless someone has KJ, but from the betting I would not
believe that).
Hand 2:
What are you afraid of at the river? Reraise. I am pretty sure Button
does not have a higher flush. A boat is also pretty unlikely. So why throw
away money?
