Standard right? Defending and flopping a big draw.
Stars $5/10. I have 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the BB.
UTG folds. TAG-ish MP raises. Folded to me and I call. <font color="blue">Is this a standard hand to defend?</font> Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Yay. I check-raise the flop with the plan of betting the turn unless it's an A, K or Q. <font color="blue">Is that a standard line for everyone? How do you handle a flop three-bet? And what do you do on the river if he calls the check-raise, calls the turn bet, and you miss.</font> Thanks, Guy. |

Re: Standard right? Defending and flopping a big draw.
I checkraise this flop and lead the turn, any turn. If villian plays back at me on the flop or the turn then I call unless I improve, maybe even calling the river if I make a pair and the board doesn't get too broadway-heavy. If he decides he wants control of the hand then I just checkraise if my draw comes in. However, I might be inclined to lead my flush if it hits because he might get scared enough to check behind. Your other draws are pretty well hidden and worthy of a checkraise.
If he calls the checkraise and the turn bet, I can be pretty sure he wants to call this one down, so I just give up. |

Exactly how I would play it.

Against tenacious opponenets or guys who love the "smooth-call flop and raise turn" line, I check the turn a good bit.
