First of all, what range of hands did you put him on? TP/2 pair/set? You have 17 outs so against a 10 your either even money or a little bit infront unless he's holding A10 and i can really see any other possible hands. If he's holding a set such as 5-5 you only have your flush outs - 10d so 8 outs. Im folding this as it looks like im just drawing to my 8 flush outs.

I tend to check this flop or just push myself given his stack size.

Giving only Villain's VP$IP without his PFR% is sorta leaving out a lot. We know that he is loose, but does he raise with trash and how aggressive is he postflop. All of these would be useful, but in a vacuum, here's how it breaks down.

You only need to be good 35% of the time to call here ($48 to win $89), which exactly matches your 9 outs twice nut flush draw pot equity. Combine that with the fact that you're Ace outs might be live (and your back door wheel draw) and you have a marginally profitable call.

But I agree that you prolly should have just pushed yourself given his stack size.

Great post!

Yeah I think I should have just open pushed. I was going to push overtop if he min-raised me (which I find these shorty stacks like to do, a lot).

calling makes sense... especially if you think your overs are live, you have 2 back door draws, but a little more info on villian would be nice... I personally bet 1/2 his stack... and put him to a decision, then it is also an easy call

I cannot believe betting 4xPot in position when checked to with a flush draw is optimal.

Do you check behind on the flop and take the free card, Ghaz?

I don't do it often and its player dependent.

I get huge action from making these type of moves at certain tables.
