Re: Small Flush, misplayed?
Why are you betting into 4 players, for 1/2 the pot, with a small flush draw?
You're not getting everyone to fold.. So what's the point there? I'm new here, so maybe I'm missing something.. But I don't like that flop play. You have to raise the turn. Another diamond kills your hand, pairing the board may kill it too. I'd raise the turn to at least $6, more likely $7 or $8. I don't like your fold on the end either. As strong as the min-raise looks, you're getting practically 10:1. You don't think you're winning that hand 1 in 11 times? |

Re: Small Flush, misplayed?
Unless MP1 is petrified of the Royal, he left a ton of money on the table with the min-raise.
River bet was so small relative to pot he could have raised to 8 or 10 and probably been called by a lot of other possible hands |

Re: Small Flush, misplayed?
Raise the turn HARD - at least $8 and more like $10-$11, especially with so many people in the pot (there's $8.24 in the pot when it gets to you, plus the $2.34 you're going to call - PSB = $10.58). You want to force anyone drawing to the flush with a big diamond to pay the max. If the fool with 2 pairs calls this type of raise you can add him to your buddy list for later exploitation [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Raise the turn. There are plenty of cards that you don't want to see on the river.

This is actually a pot-building value bet based on the odds of your flush coming in. Yes, it's a small flush, but this is a short-handed table and you've got two diamonds in your hand (as opposed to a small diamond with 3 diamonds on board). If another diamond hits, you've got a very strong chance of winning the hand. If someone had bet in front of him (assuming he was in later position), he'd need 3-1 to make calling profitable. In this case, by leading with 1/2 PSB, he's still getting the right odds even if only one person calls. And if they all fold, well that's good too. The bet has the added bonus of creating deception. To a less-knowledgable player, it looks an aweful lot like an A or AT. |
