"You must be really good at Pai-gow [you can't play Hold'em]" - *wtf?*

The pot isn't as small as you make it out to be. When action gets to Hero, the pot is 6 sb's. Folding a flush draw is weak and is leaving money at the table (He's 4:1 to make his flush on the next card).

Hero is 2:1 to make flush be the river.

Raise the flop, build the pot while others are still in it and contributing. And yes, hopefully earn a free card on the turn if needed.

If 3-bet, simply call and go from there.

Folding the flop is the worst of 3 options.

Dude - fold that flop!

I *raise* this flop. (Assuming I made the horrible preflop limp).

Hmmm...interesting. Explain your reasoning? That pot is small and not worth chasing IMHO. Are you raising for a free card? That pot isn't big enough to interest me, free card or no.

Doesn't matter if the pot is small, you've either got neutral or positive equity on this flop. Since a 3rd of the pot will usually be yours in this situation, it's a definite raise for me. Take a free card on the turn if it's given to you (and you need it) and hope they don't realize what you were doing if a club hits on teh river.

Folding this flop is a ridiculous option...Raising is by far the right play, for these reasons.....You limped in because you are on the button, right?? So use it...Get the small blind to stop betting, and figure out how much the villian really likes his hand....If you raise, the chance of you facing TWO bets on the turn are very low, and your play looks much sounder

PS....Don't limp with J2suited after one limper comes in......

Thanks. This was the feedback I was looking for and you're right on all counts.

Was this the game on Sat night on table 4? If so, I was there, seat 4.
