Re: 50NL Pocket Aces w/flush draw on turn
I don't mind checking at all, but I'm not checking to fold. Certainly sticking some money in here is a frisky play and not for the feint of heart and perhaps boarders on wreckless. I'm not afraid to admit that.
What I really have a problem with is this notion that we're automatically behind and we need to roll over and play dead. I do realize that the board is 4 straighted and flushed. It's a terrifying board for a lot of hands. Really, really terrifying. We know nobody has the nuts. We're 3 way. Nobody was shown any particular strength. UTG+1 was the most likely to be drawing but checked the turn. Maybe his draw came in, maybe it didn't. The BTN doesn't need anything more than a T and would often have raised with a quality draw. I'm not at all ready to give up on my hand.
Had UTG+1 led the turn I would mostly lay it down. But he didn't, so I don't mind gamblin'.
