Default How do you play this royal flush draw?

Ultimate Bet 1/2 NL (7 handed)

No reads.

Hero ($200.40) is small blind w/ A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain ($519.40) is big blind.

Action:

2 folds, MP1 calls $2, 1 fold, Button calls $2, Hero calls $1, Villain checks.

Flop: ($8) K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero bets $7, Villain raises to $30, two folds, I want to push here, but I mistype and raise to $53, Villain calls.

Turn: ($114) 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets $114, Villain put me all in for my remaining $32.40, I call

River: ($406.80) A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Results: Villain shows Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and wins the pot.

I would appreciate comments on all streets. I'm not very happy w/ how I played this.

I'm particulary interested in comments on how to play the turn, and whether pushing the flop was a good idea.

Default Re: How do you play this royal flush draw?

Royal flush draw is irrelevent. Both straight and flush draws are nut draws, and they include the 1 out royal flush.

You have flush draw + gutshot straight, so there are 9+3 = 12 outs on each street. That's 26% chance on each card and 45% chance by the river. Your A out might be good but you can't count on it.

Flop: You're behind any hand here, and there's a lot of money in your stack, so getting all in is only a good idea if you have good fold equity. Villain's reraise says he likes his hand a lot, which is probably AK, a set or two pair. Only AK might lay down here. I'd call and attempt to keep the pot small.

Turn: Your odds are down to 26% for the nuts (12 outs). You need 3:1 odds here, but there are some implied odds. Villain likes his hand so you want to be checking this and letting him price you in. If he bets the pot or pushes, you have to fold.
