SB checks, Hero checks.




So my thinking on the checkdown was: Check on the turn to keep the pot small, since he raised, then on the river the flush draw came in and I figured the only think I'm beating is a smaller queen, so I just wanted a showdown.

My question is: Was this line decent, and is it smart to reraise him on this flop?

You're missing value here. Turn check is prolly fine, but I would valuebet the river. Ax will call you here 100% time and he would lead here with a flush.

With a villain whos 58/10 I'd at least put in a value bet on the river after his check, something like $1.25

Don't 3-bet the flop without any reads. It turns your hand into a bluff.

Definitely bet the river because you're pretty sure you have the best hand now. His second check looks like he was raising the flop with an underpair or a weak ace to see where he was at. Or maybe he had A3 and got counterfitted on the turn, but again you have the best hand. If he check-raises then you can fold. But most of the time you're ahead so there is value in betting.

I don't mind calling the flop and reevaluating the turn. The turn cards is actually a good card. His check here screams either A2 that just got counterfeited or a flushdraw that didn't get there. So I'd bet the turn or river. I prefer the turn, since you still get value from the flushdraw.
