25nl how do you play this big draw?
 

I'll start this by saying im new to nl cash so i wasnt really sure how to play this. The original raiser is a donk so ive been trying to take flops against him with playable hands, the bb is a solid tag who I havent gotten involved with in any big pots, thoughts on all streets

Thanks Hanover, that was nice of you.

Preflop is fine, take a cheap flop with a drawing hand. On the flop you've got 12 outs with your flush and gutshot draws, so calling a pot-size bet is fine imo. Calling the BB's raise is fine, anyone condone a possible shove here? We're 45% to hit the hand anyway, is there any FE at these levels? I like the shove fwiw. Then on the turn bets $15 at $20, so giving you 2.3:1 and the actual odds of catching are 2.8:1. If you call here and hit, you're left with $22 which he may call a shove with he may not, and you're oop. Folding's not terrible here, it's marginal either way.

Re: 25nl how do you play this big draw?
 

If MP is the kind of donk that's going to bet out if checked to, I'd prefer a large c/r rather than a c/c.

As played ... calling the BB's c/r is great here. You're getting great odds to hit your flush or gutshot. Pushing is ng here .. 0 FE and you're a significant dog to 2pr or a set.

Once you miss on the turn, c/f is good.

interesting hand.

i shove these hands on the flop a lot. cold calling the re-raise on the flop essentially telegraphs that you are on a draw, as a set or 2 pair would be shoving all day. youre a coinflip with basically every hand on the flop and it's so sick for table image (ZOMG I SAW THAT GUY GO ALL IN WITH A FLUSH DRAW HES A MANIAC) that when you shove made hands you'll get paid off.
