Button: $5.35
Hero: $10.15
BB: $7.45
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif A/images/graemlins/heart.gif
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $0.3</font>, Hero calls, BB folds.
<font color="blue"> I consider a 3-bet here to try to take momentum in the hand and set myself up to take it down easier on the flop, but I've only seen villain for a few orbits so I decide not to get too fancy. </font>
Flop: 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif J/images/graemlins/heart.gif 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif ($0.7, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $0.4</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $1</font>, Hero calls.
<font color="blue"> I flop 2 overs and NFD. I lead out as a semi-bluff so I increase the chance I get paid if I hit. Besides, he may just call. After his raise I'm getting decent odds to call, so I do. His raise doesn't scare me too much, as he could be raising to test if I have the made flush already. </font>
Turn: Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($2.7, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1.75</font>, Button calls.
<font color="blue"> I hit TPTK and bet because I just got ahead of a good portion of his range. It's mostly a value bet plus I still have redraws if behind. </font>
River: 3/images/graemlins/club.gif ($6.2, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.
<font color="blue"> I plan to c/c to try to control the pot. I feel this gives JxXh a chance to bluff. Villain could also bet out a made flush, but without the nut flush I don't see him over-betting since I've been betting into the 3 flush cards already. If the bet is large in relation to the pot, I can find a fold, but like I say I plan to c/c.</font>
Results:
Final pot: $6.2
Comments appreciated on all streets... bet sizing and the general line as well.
