Did I extract max value?

[kt421]

Been a frequent lurker, but haven't posted many hands. I consider myself a novice, perhaps with potential. All advice is appreciated.

Table is pretty loose overall (that may be obvious). No specific reads - I just sat down. Is there a more profitable line?

Just lead the flop.

You played the flop EXACTLY WRONG.


Lead the flop, trap the others into calling one bet, then hopefully MP2 will raise, you can 3-bet from there.


The way you've played it (with the check-raise), you're potentially pushing other players out. Remember, you're on a DRAW - to what will likey be the nuts - you want callers.

you missed an easy flop cap for value.

but you shoulda lead the flop and 3-bet the raise. either way, you'd love to cap with 5 stayin' for the turn.

then, you should lead the turn. your check raising is making it easier to fold out the BB and UTG+1, who you'd love to stick around.

so... no. play more straightforward. you didn't need/want to check raise at any point.
