you don't make money off of lags with semibluffing draws.especially a straight draw on a 2 flush board thats 3 way.

why do you not check through the turn and take your free card?

you can't bluff lags.

The converter messed this up a bit. I did check the turn and CO bet. I then checkraised all in

i assume you won the hand?

Nah. Villain hit his flush on the river.

At 6max against this opponent I think your preflop play is fine. I don't really like the semibluff on the flop though because it's hard to bluff a LAG like others have said. I don't like the reraise all in on the turn because you don't have much fold equity with the shorter stacks.

Thanks for the comments. CO won the pot with AQ spades.

For me calling the PF raise was a no brainer. This is 6max after all and the raiser in the cutoff position is likely to be raising with a non-premium holding.

My thinking with the flop bet is that that if villian did have high cards it would be easy for him to fold to a pot size bet. I also though that if villain did have any type of pat hand he would have raised my flop bet on a draw heavy board. The seven on the turn helped me, but probably did not help him, therefore I check raised all in. I suppose I could have just called the turn bet, but I would have been pretty much committed at that point.

This is very wrong.

A) 6 Max is a much more loose aggressive game, and this somewhat lowers the value of suited connectors.
B) Suited Connectors usually prefer your opponent to have a premium hand.
