yep.

2 cards in his range fall, and the flush draw hits... I say good fold... though if he starts ChR and leading too many weak flops, I call down [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm not even sure what the issue is. I play it exactly the same.

I think this is completely standard. The interesting question is how frequently the BB would have to check-raise in this spot for a call-down to be correct. This is just a math problem (after some assumptions on his hand range preflop), and it might be interesting to work out (though I am sadly too lazy to do so now).

My guess is that BB would have to check-raise with a lot of hands here to make a call-down correct here. My first estimate would be 75%, though I could see anything from 60-90%.

Another interesting question is what turn cards we should play on with here.

Easy fold.

Congrats on the move to 10/20. You are one of the best posters on this site and your ennumerative style of posting and clear analysis was important to my development as a player back when I was at small stakes/micro limits.

I'd play it the same. If the turn was a nonheart 9, does anyone think it is close?

I think that makes it much closer, but I still probably fold.

I've never really played much micro or smaller than 5/10, but I'd still like to echo the good things said about Stellar. He's up there with some of the best posters on the board.
