Final Pot: 14.50 BB

The preflop raiser is not playing good cards off the bad and has taken a few beats which left him raising PF a lot. Since I was in the BB I decided to limp this one.

Flop is great but I have the lowest flush possible. The three bet screames higher made flush or Ah and expecting one more before the river. Should I have been more aggressive?

I think you should have been more aggressive on the flop and turn. Then if it looks like he's not backing down, re-evaluate. Many donks will 3 bet this flop with the A of hearts. Especially if he's an aggressive donk.

Cap flop and bet into him on the turn and see how he handles it. If he calls, he's probably drawing. a raise may mean he has a made flush. If raised, I'd call down.

i would fold preflop, but i'd play 54s there.

anyway, i like just calling the flop 3-bet.

turn was a good card for you, and this guy is likely to bet all hands he 3-bet on the flop. AK has a straight, AA/KK/QQ will definitely bet as well. so check raise and trap the other dude.

You can't put anyone else on a flush yet. Since you do have it, you should have capped the flop.

I'd probably try for a check-raise on the turn and bet out on the river.

I'd consider making a MilesIsRight gimmick account, but since his ego is already bigger than his fro (and growing), I decided against it. Anyway, Miles is right.

if your not capping that flop, it's only because you are going to check raise the turn.

I would play it the same on the flop. I would bet out on the turn and if villain 3bet the turn then I would check fold the river

wait until i move up to 0.25/0.50, and then see how big my ego gets

I agree. I actually knew that I should have folded PF. I was guessing that the PF raiser was on tilt and that I could extract a lot of money with a straight or flush.

Then I hit the flush and didnt extract the money. Thats why I wanted a different line. I agree.

so the line should be, Call the flop, check raise the turn if another heart doesnt come out? Bet the river if another heart doesnt come out?

Blow your 0.50/1 roll on that halloween costume so you had to drop back down to 0.10/0.20, eh?
