====== SPOILER IN WHITE TEXT BELOW =======
<font color="white">Hand 1, MP2 shows QQ, and Button shows T6 for rivered trips. MHIG.
Hand 2, MP3 shows K6 and my flush takes it home.

In the first hand, I thought there would be a bet behind me, after getting 3-bet on the flop. Should I still have value-bet the turn with so many outs? If MP2 would raise me, he would probably push out some hands behind me though... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

In the second hand, the flush scared me. Should I have 3-bet the turn here?

Hand 1:
I'd have probably gone ahead and capped the flop since you were closing the action anyway.

When I picked up the straight draw on the turn I would have likely bet out after capping the flop.

Hand 2:
I think you played this one fine, but what you have is called a set not a flush [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Hand#1: To play 98s in EP, yes it would have to be.

I think I would have check-called this 9-high flush draw on the flop. However, when you pick up an Army of outs you can bet this turn to see if you can take it down there.

Hand#2

3-bet the turn, you'll find the raiser had 2-pair of a pair w/A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] more than you find them slow playing the flush. Plus, you've got 10 clean outs vs. the flush to beat it.

Peace,
