Default Re: 2nd nut flush on four flush board

[ QUOTE ]
I think a turn raise is bad in this situation. With a low flush card, a raise seems like an obvious semibluff attempt. Basically the 3 isn't a scare card. I don't think you have any fold equity, and the raise is definitely not for value. Being 3-bet would also be terrible. Calling is good.

Only reason to not cap preflop when BB 3bet against stealraise is for deception. So if we dont raise flop or turn with this pretty ok board, we should cap preflop.

We are raising turn here because a preflop 3bettor will normally bet flop and turn no matter if he hit or not so we could very well be ahead and we got 15 outs for toppair or better. And if river is another blank we will normally have to call AK unimproved since we played it so weak.

If I called this preflop I would normally attack on flop when I still thought I was ahead, instead of giving other guy another cheap card. AK on a Qxx flop, its a great hand.

I would not raise this river if I just called all way. Why would he bet a low flush, we raised preflop so chance we are calling an even lower flush isnt that big. And if he is bluffing he will fold when we raise. And A will 3bet.
