Flush draw and tpwk

[quarkncover]

First of all, regarding your flop call, you're drawing to the 3rd nuts with two players to act behind you. A very marginal call even though you're getting about 3.5-1 on your money. Maybe raise to try for a free turn card, ugly spot on flop.

Why are you min-raising on the turn [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
What does this accomplish???????

After being three-bet all-in against such a maniac I'm probably auto-calling here, his range is too wide. Turn call is fine.

Sometimes when I'm making decisions, particularly difficult post-flop decisions, I verbalize my thought process before I click the button. It really helps me when defining a villain's hand range. Simply it helps me understand why I am doing what I am doing. Easy for the mind to trick itself into believing things, particularly in the deceptive world of poker. So slow down and make sense of what you're doing. Try it sometime.

I would play the turn slow here. To bet out twice like villian did he has got something and obviously that jack did not worry him much. I flat call and consider my options on the river, hopefully the flush comes. Or maybe chuck it all in if the villian was annoying me enough. Either way the miniraise is bad.
