Default Re: $225: TP + flush draw

Darin, If this were a cash game, I would go for a check/raise or check/call depending on the action. I guess it applies here as well. The problem with betting upfront OOP is that

1. The pot goes heads-up almost immediately. If some one limped with a big hand, they are going to raise and get every one out.
2. You have no FE, once he raises.

On the other hand, if you check/raise after the guy bets say 90, some one calls, it's a much more difficult decision for him to call. There's one guy behind, you might have a set or two pair very easily. You also have the option of calling and seeing a cheap turn with good odds.

Finally, as played you should either push or fold. Calling is just bad.
