Villain seems to like his hand, standard.

Thats what I thought, I put him on flush or trips. He folded though

Limping UTG may have worked here, but in the long run its a big time loser. Easily dominated hand and probably going to face a preflop raise putting you OOP and not in control of the hand...what is your plan on an As 8h 6s flop f'rinstance?

[jmgambler]

Raise or fold PF
as played looks fine, your OOP so its a *coin flip* as to whether to call and bet say, $7 on the river

[Sean Fraley]

I'm quite sure that there are situations where you should open limp in 6-Max, but I can't think of any right now. Other than that, this is fine.

i probably would have raised it to 20-25 on the turn. the villian hasnt put a ton into the pot, the pot is only around 13.50 and villian would now have to call another 40 some dollars to stay in the hand. if you bet him a little light, he might sense weakness and push it in. i would play this a little slower to try and extract, unless your image is aggressive all the way down. although, unless he may not be calling a river bet, he would have better odds to if he calls your turn bet with your intention of getting it all in on the river.

The button only has $18 left.

What's up with the weakass turn bet? I might go for a CRAI there, I might just lead. But if I do lead, I'm making it around 2/3 pot.

I wanted to bet more, but I felt the way I played it screamed flush and didnt want to scare villian. I really didnt know what to bet when I hit my flush. What do you guys think was the right bet after I hit?

[Xanta]

The thing is, your hand is pretty transparent no matter how you play it. In fact, check/raising turn or underbet/3betting screams flush even more than a straight lead in my opinion. At least this way it may appear to him like you're trying to bluff a scare card, or he might just call down turn and river with TP or some garbage anyways. He's rarely calling a check/raise or a bet/3bet with a weakish made hand though.

I make it 4.5

[C4LL4W4Y]

If I ended up in this situation, I like the turn lead/3bai but a crai is ok too.

[C4LL4W4Y]

Yeah I was gonna say 3.50 4 actually.

[ocdscale]

Definitely bet more on the turn.
I would tank a bit, then throw out a $4 bet.

If he raises, pretty much anything you do screams flush. Better to get your money in on the turn (fourth club will kill action), so 3bet is good.

[orange]

fine

I am not crazy about betting this flop 5 handed. You probably will find someone calling, but they probably won't be a worse flush draw, which you really want to keep in the hand.
