I don't mind this line. If you're up against a flush you're up against a flush. Your opponents flop bet can bet just about any 2 cards. By the time your opponent goes allin, you have to call in case you already have the best hand, or in case you are currently beat you are close to having odds to call, so you basically just tied yourself to the pot. But you want to make a hand pay to draw if he has to draw, You also don't want something like A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] to take down the pot while you are trying to fill up.

If I suspect villian is on any kind of flush draw on a monotone flop (J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]-Jx, A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]-Xx, etc.), then I like to pop it on the turn.

sets on a monotone board, i cant seem to fold them, and was playing with the idea of never doing so ever again at 6max

hows my line

Your line is fine. Your are getting 2-1 on your final call, so it is automatic IMO. You are only 2-1 against filling up, and have a good chance to have the best hand.

kagame-

Looks fine to me. I think the idea here is to set it up so that they have the opportunity to make a roughly potsized all-in bet. This will encourage them to make a big semibluff with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Kx or an overpair with a club. Checkraising the flop accomplishes this perfectly.

I can see villian having the Ac and making a semi-bluff after your check, but once you check-raise and he re-raises it seems more like he is trying to protect against a lone Ac or Kc drawing out against his made flush. Of course, at this point you have to call b/c the pot odds are correct.

Perhaps another line is to stop and go? Say lead for $120-150 on a non-club turn. If I were semi-bluffing, I'd be more likely to fold with only one card to come, and the flop call would also be a little scary. If I were protecting my low made flush, I might hesitate and allow a free showdown.
