next, i had just sat down, however the villain seemed a little overaggro. it's possible that he had just hit some good cards in the short time since i had been there, so i took that information with a grain of salt, but it did influence my decisions a little bit.

anyway, what do you guys think about the play on all streets?

I like this. I would have played it the same way. You're probably ahead, and even if you're not, the 3 flush makes it less likely you'll get 3 bet if behind. Nice hand.

sup homie,

i wouldn't do this on this board once its heads up. i'd 3-bet the flop and lead the turn mainly cuz i don't want him getting a free card if he decides to check behind on this board.

yeah, i thought about the free card. however, his raise first to act after my bet screamed K to me, and i thought it likely meant that whatever he had, it wasn't something with which he'd be taking a free card.

That's the way I would play it as well. You probably have the best hand here. If he caps it or raise you on the turn then I guess it's time to slow down.

any other help out there?

Assuming you go the CR route, why not wait until the river to CR, seeing as youre HU? This allows you to save a bet if the river is a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

not a bad thought... might it be worthwhile to perhaps fold the guy before the river in case he has a tiny diamond, however?
