Looks about right. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

One thing to really think about when you raise here as well is if you are trying to drive opponents out or build up the pot. In this flush draw example you are trying to build a pot so if the bet came from the player directly to your right you should probably just call (if you face the rest of the field with 2 cold you may end up heads up - which is not what you want). Likewise if the preflop raiser was directly to your left it is often better to check/raise. This is different than if you had top pair weak kicker where if the player to your right bet you might often raise to knock players out.

Thanks. I completely misunderstood pot equity until now. This gives me something to think about.

Now if I can only stop raising from UTG with 72o...

For those who think hero lost this hand, what do you put UTG on that has an ace in it? I'm thinking KT, QT and K9 are just as likely here as a hand with an ace.

Reads- If I remember correctly. UTG is extremely loose-bad preflop and aggressive but not braindead postflop. CO is standard very loose passive donator.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

I think capping the flop is the wrong thing to do here. I call the two extra bets and see what the turn offers me. On the river it would definetly be wrong to fold your hand, i would at least call in this situation.

why? do you think these guys are aggressively betting/raising a higher flush draw on the flop?

Why do you cap the flop.
Your only chance of winning the pot is by getting your flush, you don't want to force anyone out.
It will not increase your chances of winning.

check-fold the river.

Edit: just saw it's against 4 opponents, so it's for value...

Edit2: I now see you have the sucker straight, so closing the action in this huge pot is ok IMO.
