pushing OESD hard against flush draw

[ellipse_87]

I'm almost never this aggressive. Let me know if I had the right idea or if I was a little off. Villain is 17/6/0.7 (47 hands).

**********************************************


I'm thinking a flop checkraise is better because it has a chance of inducing a fold, whereas my donkbet announces a drawing hand. Irrelevant in this case, since villain apparently hit his flush.

My turn play was the direct result of me forgetting that I had changed stakes to whore my stacked Empire bonuses, and that a BB was therefore $2, not $4. (It was late.)

Nonetheless, does anyone agree with the fold here?

I would tend to check/call this type of flop 3-handed. You're likely do not have much of an equity edge and would like to see cards cheaply.

That said even though the Villain is passive, the read is limited and I think the turn fold is no good. You have 6 outs here very, very often IMO.

Two opponents on a 2 suited flop with an 8 out straight draw. I'd probably check call this. Are you trying to get a single club to fold? What makes you think villain is on a flush draw? I'd think AQ is more likely. Would a passive post-flop player raise on a draw?

Isn't an open-ended straight draw 4.8 to 1 from the turn to the river? Anyway, you've got 6 outs that don't put a 4-flush on the board, which is 6.7 to 1. You could be drawing dead, but a pair of queens is more likely. I'd call on the turn and see what happened; the pot's pretty big.
