on this flop im looking to get it in all day. sometimes push and sometimes crai on turn, more likely push.

Re: 2/4 Blind Battle w/ TPTK
 

I vote for a call. This flop seems pretty dry, no? Besides the flush draw of course. I guess against an unknown this is a push but I would let him bluff the rest off with his eights on the turn.

Since you have the ace of spades, a spade turn isn't so ugly, so this can be a call against some opponents who fire the turn with air/midpair/weaker queen/draw. I'd call looking to CRAI on the turn most of the time. Without the ace of spades, I'd push the flop.

how is this flop dry?

looks pretty dry to me. I dont think a single flush draw and a backdoor or two counts as wet

it's not wet, but it's not dry. a lot of gutshots, obviously flush draw + gutshots and so forth. there's also almost no way to make two pair unless the guy is really loose, so im pretty happy with bombs away.

Re: 2/4 Blind Battle w/ TPTK
 

your happy to shove because its hard to imagine two pair coming up? surely you'd be better to shove if the flop was QJ7 I can see more of case for calling/reevaluating on a flop like this.

The idea that somehow its better to get all in when your hand has much lower relative value seems a little backwards to me. DUCY?

the term "moist flop" should clear up any confusion.
