Default Re: Tough 1st Level Hand

I'd raise somewhat more PF, and a raise all-in on this flop is definitely a better way than a raise to 350, and a call of 315 once the 4th diamond hits. Many players will not be able to lay down their nut-flush-draws even to a push, so you force them into a bigger mistake than what you did, and you are certainly avoiding bad calls, in terms of FTOP. It is short-stacks NL: if you raise to ~300 on the flop, and get a call, the pot is more than 1000, and you both have just a little more than 300 each. These kinds of spots should be avoided, IMO.
