5, 10 No Limit at B&M

[Tom22]

I'm looking for some advice after the flop.

BB ($1500)
UTG 2 ($835)
MP 2 Hero ($2800)
CO ($4000)

UTG 2 calls, I call with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], CO raises to $50. BB calls, UTG2 calls, I call.

Flop: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($205)

BB checks, UTG2 checks, I check (with the intentions of putting a big check raise, knowing that the CO will bet), CO bets $100, BB raises to $300, UTG 2 goes all in for $785.

What is hero next move?

My thought process at this point. CO could have anything but probably made a continuation bet. BB could have a flush draw, overpair, 2 pairs. I put UTG2 on two pair or a set. I don't think anyone would play a 3 5 preflop for a straight.

What is the correct move at this point? I'll post what I did after I get some responses.

I would have preferred leading. Obviously, the goal is to get as much money in the pot as possible, and leading into the raiser is the best way to do that.

In your position, I'd have to call, but I really don't like the way you played the hand.

[Tom22]

The reason that I didn't bet out was because I thought that the CO would bet and then fold to a raise. One can not expect to get a much action on this type of flop as I did with this hand.

fold preflop

[Tom22]

I asked for advice after the flop. But anyways I play these hands in late position when the money is deep and I feel that I can break somebody with it.

This isn't even a 1 gapper. There is no reason to play it.

you couldnt be more wrong.

and to the OP, I think its a fold. seems like 2 or more outs are already toast and your flush draw may only have 1 out.

and you said most likely no one has 53s?

you played 85s, so why rule out a similar hand?

and lastly, lead at this pot, you dont want to CR and then get caught with your pants down OOP after missing the turn.

Calling after that flop action is a big mistake I think. There is too much of a chance that higher spades are out there which is absolutely deadly for your hand.

I'm with popinjay... your call gives potodds to the guy with nut flush draw(if it isn't UTG+2 that has it). I'd fold in a heartbeat. People say you should have lead out, but in this case if you did, you'd have your entire stack in there with 8 clean outs and 9 cards you don't want to see pair the board(~19%) on the turn. Then if you get a solid card on the turn, you gotta worry about 12 cards on the river(~25%).

I vote easy muck, enjoy the show.
