Re: Flopped straight on all diamond board
[ QUOTE ]
Preflop as you already mentioned is a fold (or a push as a restealer), but calling oop with your stack is not good.
Nevertheless flop is good for you, and you have to bet enough, that you protect your hand against a draw, but not too much to chase a high ace off - remember the board is scary for everyone.
Pot is 6350 and you have 11k left - so I'd bet half of my remaining stack - 5,5k - here.
Checking is not an option for me here, too risky that it is checked through and you really don't want to give a free-card.
[/ QUOTE ]I also really want to PSB this flop. When you suggest bet the flop, in a loose game people might just call. Can you possibly fold this hand on the turn if another flush card appears. I think any flop bet pot commits hero so I think he should just open shove the flop. The pot is big enough to be worth winning right now. Also I doubt anyone is folding a flush draw on this flop so hero will likely get called. Villains will be surprised at how strong hero's hand is and hero gets all the money in as a favorite.
