Default Re: Simple PL hand- KoTZ

I think it's OK (after the flop) to play it the way you did. If you call the turn and a river heart comes, he probably won't call a very big bet, so you're not getting very big implied odds here. You could try to get tricky, but if villian actually has a hand it just costs you more.

If you want to try to hit your river flush, maybe make a lead, blocking bet of 180 which gives you about 3.5-1 pot odds (still less than the 4-1 you need to hit your NOT a nut flush), and which had he bet 180, you might call. If he raises, you're gone.

I think he was protecting a made hand and is unlikely to fold to anything but a check-raise on the turn. I think you're in trouble here and should cut your losses.

Of course...my name is Chuck and I am Weak/Tight (but play a LOT of PL).
