Default Re: str8 flush draw flopped, min-raised back to you


Not much folding equity due to his stack size, or implied odds for that matter...

Yes. But the his min-raise puzzles me if he held A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], wouldn't he just call or push all-in
here?

Thanks,

With his holding, you were ahead when you pushed - think long term - you played it well.

folding equity counts, but that is not why you push. you push in case you miss the turn. you do not want big money going in (on the turn) when you only have one card to come and are behind any pair.

I don't really understand that. Because say he calls the $50, then he misses and his opponent goes all in on the turn, then he mathemetically is not getting odds to call so he folds. Doesn't he just save money this way, your reasoning to go all in on the flop just seems like an excuse to play the striaght draw too aggresive and see all the cards with it when maybe just paying $50 to see one card and then check/folding the turn is optimal. I am probably missing something here.

Hero has a straight-flush draw. He's ahead of anything but a set here. He WANTS the money to go in on the flop while he's the (slight) favorite.

What the hell?

Who brought up AT[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?? Whoever did should never leave their home again, for fear of an asteroid landing on their head.

Good lord, push and hope he folds his AT or KT.

Otherise, why the hell did you play the hand?

If the boogeyman AT[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is there, just do three things:

1.) Start crying and asking God why He has forsaken you.
2.) Hope that you still hit one of your six outs.
3.) Reconsider playing these sorts of hands for limp if you're gonna fret so much when Ed McMahon comes knocking to see if you're home.

I'm just kidding a little bit, but honestly, why even wonder if AT[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is there? Are you going to look into his virtual soul and make a Big Laydown?

If not, your options are raise or call.

Duh. Do you think calling to see the turn here makes any sense? Are you going to muck to a blank and a bet?

Push. Anyone who says there's no chance of him folding to an all-in bet on the flop is wrong. It happens all the damned time in spots like this.
