Default Re: Come laugh at my no-limit play

I was going to post a reply in SSNL, but I'll post it here since I think (like you since you posted it here) it will be helpful to beginners. Your flop raise was good in that it priced out any draws.

On the turn, you are a short stack with TPTK on a three flush board. Your stack is equal to the current pot. Since you gave villain incorrect odds to call your flop bet with a draw you should push it in here. I think this is Short Stack 101.

If you had a bigger stack you could have better protected your hand by making a pot-sized turn bet and having 100bb behind will make villain think twice before getting out of line.

You have a hand that you want to showdown as cheaply as possible (after that turn), but since your stack is limited it has to go in.
