Re: Unsure about this turn play
[ QUOTE ]
Strongly consider raising the flop. [/ QUOTE ] the way i see it is you floped A high and a inside straight draw, thats not strong enough for a raise imo but i'm sure its just something i'm missing. can you explain why? i'm making a lot of mistakes if the raise is correct and would like to correct them <3

Lets call the backdoor flush draw 1.5 outs, the inside straight draw 3.5 (because the four of spades will complete the flush draw), and the 3 aces as 2 outs (because of the bad kicker). Having 7 outs, raising on the flop for a free card is a good play. Also, by raising the flop, you charge anyone on the flush draw. Looking back, I should've played it this way. If I had raised the flop, and then got bet into on this turn I would just call down (a bet here after my flop raise is a sign of strength and I don't want to be forced to call a 3bet that I'm getting odds to call). If on the other hand I had just called the flop, raising the turn might actually be the best play because I'm likely to get a showdown at the same cost as if I had called the turn and a river bet, while at the same time charging spade draws. Additionally, my decision for how to play against a 3bet is easier because there is less money in the pot, making a fold easier.
