I don't like the pf call with your stack here. As played, not sure what flop you're looking for bc this is the one. Easy shove.

agreed,

i dont think u got the implied odds here cause your so shallow.

ok thanks for advice guys. I still think the limp is fine since the table had played passively and I thought there was a decent chance UTG had a big hand.

Re: stars 50+r gamble?
 

You pretty much flopped the nuts! Of course get it in.

And FYI, you were 57.4% to win the hand. So, you got your money in ahead with the worse hand (key part behind "ahead"). [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Here's a list of situations where you should fold if you flop an open-ended straight flush draw, using both of your cards, on the flop:


If, as here you have an OESFD plus a pair, which is a better hand, you should consider folding in the following situations:



Although I once saw a guy do it on TV, and I've never been on TV, so maybe I'm wrong.

There is extra ev in being able to say "I has a straight flush!"

Re: stars 50+r gamble?
 

Wasicka folded an OESFD against Gold 3-handed in the ME. And he would've won and almost tripled up! So clealry, du-umb
