TP w/ flush draw turns a straight draw

[phillydilly]

villain is 54/8/5.5 @ 28 hands
thoughts:
in general i'm not doing well semi bluffing, so i've cut way down. The way hes betting, it doesn't feel like a flush draw, but a made hand, which is why i checked behind on the river, felt like he was inducing a bluff, and i did have decent showdown value.

I'd raise the flop (to $3) and make him pay for possible draws...

Raise the flop! You have top pair and a flush draw, and this guy is aggressive.

i think a river raise is warranted here as well.

What worse hands will call the river bet? I could see a worse Queen maybe folding to the river bet, but like OP said, his hand definitely has showdown value here.

Depends on the river bet:

Full-pot: probably not called by a reasonable player
1/2 pot: probably only called about 30% of the time with a weak Q or an A8 or some such.
1/3 pot: probaby called about 70% unless he was totally bluffing.

The main problem with the smaller bets is that you risk a C/R and then a decision. If the player has not shown themselves to be tricky I'd probably throw out a $3 bet for value.

This isn't a semi-bluff hand, it's a powerhouse. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] You got to raise that flop. Raise to about $4, bet the turn if checked to, and Then you can probably check behind the river if you want to.

you've gotta raise the flop....as played at least raise the turn.
