2 folds, Button raises to $1.75, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.25.

Turn: ($17.75) A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (2 players)

Seems hard to fold here. Will villian go AI without a flush/straight? Don't think we beat much.

If you c/r the flop, raise it up more around $10. As played fold turn.

you should raise your hand preflop, it's likely to be dominated. I think raise>fold>call IMO

EDIT: And you are OOP and want to take the pot now

Why is he doing this?
Such a large overbet..
Is it really such a clear fold? We got a redraw to third nuts and we got 4 outs for a FH. If he has the flush why would he make such a large raise?

Fold pre-flop, or is that too weak? I agree, raise the flop bet up more. If we lead the turn, I think we have to plan to fold to a raise. Every big draw just hit, even though we "improved." I'd consider checking the turn and possibly calling down from there.

villan doesn't seem like a spewpot, i'd like to get my money in when most draws hit and i could be drawing to limited outs, i don't think your ahead often here so i let it go, although villans line is odd- why would someone not valuebet a flush? maybe trips, but your behind IMO more than your up in this position on turn
