Calling after that flop action is a big mistake I think. There is too much of a chance that higher spades are out there which is absolutely deadly for your hand.

I'm with popinjay... your call gives potodds to the guy with nut flush draw(if it isn't UTG+2 that has it). I'd fold in a heartbeat. People say you should have lead out, but in this case if you did, you'd have your entire stack in there with 8 clean outs and 9 cards you don't want to see pair the board(~19%) on the turn. Then if you get a solid card on the turn, you gotta worry about 12 cards on the river(~25%).

I vote easy muck, enjoy the show.

fold preflop.... There is no reason to play it.

you couldnt be more wrong.

and to the OP, I think its a fold. seems like 2 or more outs are already toast and your flush draw may only have 1 out.

and you said most likely no one has 53s?

you played 85s, so why rule out a similar hand?

and lastly, lead at this pot, you dont want to CR and then get caught with your pants down OOP after missing the turn.

I agree that this is a fold, but if Hero moves in, I think that CO and BB will fold everything except a set. In other words, if Hero can make the other spade draws fold, this is a very close call. The problem, of course, is that this line is disasterous if BB has the set and UTG2 has the spades. I think that the former scenario is more likely, but the latter one is certainly possible, especially if UTG2 isn't too bright.

Thanks for everyone thoughts. I had consider all three options here but decided to raise and make it a total of $1500.

My thought process was that UTG 2 wouldn't put it all in on a flush draw with already one bettor and one raiser. I felt that BB could have a flush draw and by raising he wouldn't have the pot odds to call.

CO folded, BB folded.

The turn was J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG 2 had K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG 2 won with a higher flush. My read on UTG 2 was wrong.
But I later crunched the numbers using twodimes.net.

The pot at the time was $1390 and it ended me costing $785. Pot odds are $1390/$785 = 1.77 I had a 39% winning, giving a 61/39 for pot odds of 1.56. A marginal advantage. If he had a set the odds are about the same. So I still think a raise was appropriate here in order to play heads up.

Thoughts?

[Popinjay]

With the higher flush draw out there you still have a 39% chance to win?

[Tom22]

Yes, because I can hit my non spade straight or 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or hit a pair.
