$16t: Turned flush on first hand
 

This is two-pair/set/lower flush/random hand enough to push for value right? I think there's a ton of worse hands he'll call with.

Bet flop.
Call river.
Edit: Put his range on any two clubs and it's an insta call.

Meh 3rd nut flush is roughly 50/50 against any other flush. You lose to 13 combos and beat 15 but I'd still call as he could have something goofy.

Re: $16t: Turned flush on first hand
 

My line usually is
checked flop
bet turn,
check/call the river

I'm definitely calling the river as played.

IMO in general Pudge Advice &gt; BHokie Advice

I'm interested on Pudge's reasons for betting the flop, maybe because only the button limped and he obviously doesn't have a strong hand.

If you bet the flop do you bet the turn when you hit or c/c, if you miss the turn I assume it's an easy c/f.

Calling wasn't even a question, of course I'm calling the river. Re-re-raise all-in for value is the question. I really think this is sets, two pair, or lower flushes enough that pay-off a push.

I'd defintely push. Since villan was the BB I think a random two pair hand is even more likely.

This early I wouldn't, the times you bust don't make up for the times you get stacked IMO. It's a nice take down if you are ahead and you have time to recover if you are behind. This early I'd weigh surviving, over getting stacked.

Hate preflop.

Think 60 turn is way better than 40 as well.

On river fold is out of the question, and check/call would give up tremendous amounts of value.
