I've been meaning to post this one for a while, here it is:
250-500 blinds, 50 ante. It is about 1:45 in the morning and we are playing until 2:30. I have about 18,000 and I have tight table image. I have only played one hand to a showdown and it was when I took out a small stack with QQ. I get KcJc in UTG+1 and raise to 1500. This is a marginal hand for EP, but I raised since play was tightening up because it was late and getting close to the second day. It is folded to the BB who calls. I don't have much of a read on the BB other than that I suspect he is loose passive. He has about the same number of chips as me. The flop is K T 5, all hearts. BB checks, I bet 2500, he calls. The turn is 4, not a heart. He checks, I...? (There is ~9,000 in the pot and I have 14,000 left) |

Make a strong bet?
you have to punish the draw with a decent kicker and if u bet it he might slow down and check down the river with KQ, AK |

Bet around two thirds to three quarters of the pot. If he moves all in fold. Check the river if you don't improve. In
most spots you'll be up against a draw or a worse hand. If I had a heart draw ie. KJo with a heart I would check the turn. I don't want to be c/r'ed off a potentially big draw. If a heart comes on the river well, use your best judgement. Bruce |

my mind screams small pot, small pot when he calls the flop bet.

push the turn. overbet but who cares, it looks like you have the best hand right now and you want to make it expensive for him.

Check the Flop. You have position and you have a showdown hand.

Giving a free card here must be the worst thing you can do.

What hand could he have that I beat that I want to give a free card to? Even if he has Kx, if his x is a heart I can't give him a free card. |

Oops, I misread the OP (all-heart flop). This is a tough one. I would bet 5000 and fold to a raise. I'd be happy to check behind on the river.
