My straight makes his flush?

J Chap · #1 12-03-2005, 11:13 AM

I have about $450 at an NL 200 full-ring table on Poker Room.

I have been seeing a lot of flops and gradually increasing my LAGitude. Villain has not been sitting long enough to get a proper read.

Villain in MP has about $240 and makes it $8 to go. I call from small blind with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

FLOP COMES...

2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet $15, he quick-calls.

TURN: 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

My action? Seems like AJ clubs or AQ clubs could have played it just this way, so I can definitely see him havin a flush... hmmm...

Pot is about $50. He has about $200 left, I have just over $400 left.

(Sorry - lame website can't find my hand history.)

Thanks,
J Chap

I bet $40 here and fold to a raise.

This is an easy bet/fold. I think that if he just calls the turn, you should be wary of putting any more money in the pot.

Nice, I bet about $40 and took it down right there.

So if he calls, am I check-small-calling a non-club river? Or do I throw out a "blocker bet" (definition #2) on the river to prevent him from trying to purchase on a missed draw?

Someone gimme a river line if he calls my $40, first with a club river and then without a club river.

Thx
