Default Re: Top pair, flush draw, multi-way

FWIW, I jammed. So, basically I shoved 1250 chips into a 520 chip pot.

Going over the HH of this tourny, this seemed a little over-aggro. By my estimation (especially with the play in the 180/4's), I am ahead here most of the time. Seems like a pot sized bet here may have been better for extracting value and possibly inducing a reraise. Taking the hand down now is a nice addition to my stack, but if I'm ahead, as I think I am, then wouldn't I want to insure that I get a caller/reraiser?

Partial results in white below.

As I said, I do expect a caller, which is why I jam. I get a caller, I'm happy.

If you think your top pair is winning, then go ahead and make a pot bet. That's fine. What sucks is making a pot bet, getting two callers, turning a brick and facing a raise and call.
