Re: Free Card Play - Wrong spot ??
I don't like it because "passive" villain just bet into the preflop raiser. That's almost never a good sign.
You're also buying a free card with not that many outs. Your gutshot has only 3.5 outs because of the possible flush, and your ace overcard is only worth 1-1.5. So in all, you've got 5 outs or less. Your raise would have been better with two overcards, say KQ on a J95 flop, because the free card is more worth the price (though I may still just call). With KQ on a JT5 flop, I would go ahead and raise for the free card (now you have 7 OESD outs plus 2-3 overcard outs).
