I guess PF was worth half a bet. I wouldn't 3 bet the flop, but I believe betting out on the turn was the right play. That's just my $.02

ya i suppose the 3 bet on the flop may have been a bit lagish.. 4 people is iffy. i bet out turn from OESD pickup obviously and flush draw still.

should have raised on river [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] jk

Check and call the flop. If it's two bets back to you, fold it.

Isn't this rather straightforward?

Huh? You only need more than 2 people to call to show a profit. Once all 3 show they're willing to stay in, you should be happy to see the flop capped if possible.

Bizot · #9 03-04-2005, 05:34 PM

ya dude you have a huge draw gotta get your money in there with everyone elses while they'll call if the 3rd to flush comes they wont call and will be more apt to fold.

Yes. Your flush comes in 30%+ of the time by the river. Not only do you have odds to draw, but your equity is high enough such that every bet going into the flop is making you money.
