20-40 flop slowplay heads-up

[Ulysses]

5 or 6-handed. My opponents are terrible.

Folded to me on the button w/ As4s. I raise.

SB folds. BB 3-bets. She is a terrible player. She has a big hand. I call.

Flop 2c 3c 5c

She bets. I call.

Turn 2c 3c 5c Kd

She bets. I raise. She calls.

River blank

She checks. I bet. She calls.

Who raises the flop or waits to raise 'til the river?

I bet you can't guess her hand. (Well, now that I said it like that, maybe you can).

I'd raise the flop and re-raise a re-raise (3 raise max where I play). I'd fold to a bet on the turn against this terrible opponent and call a bet on the river.

I'd put her on AA or, more likely, KK with or wihtout a club. After you said it like that I think she had 67 clubs.

hi ulysses
i think you should raise on the flop to see how much she likes her flush.

no one can be so bad as to not realize that you may have a high flush card and that they must raise to make you pay to draw out. if she reraises, you may want to cool it a little and check-call unless a fourth club hits. it looks like she has Ac and what her other card is i couldn't tell you.

since you didn't raise the flop and don't know where she stands, your turn raise is a little more risky, but i like it. if she reraises you can fold; if she calls, the river is worth another bet.

i don't know why you didn't raise the flop though. i think the priority here isn't getting more bets in the pot, but rather getting a read on the possible flush. it costs 1/2 a bet, but i think it's worth it. additionally, you have a made hand that won't improve. so if she has a high club, you want her to pay the most on every street starting on the flop. she got a cheap peek at the turn.
