I do this after seeing Villain limp 22 UTG and call an (admittedly kinda crazy) player's 20xbb shove preflop...not closing the action.
Just a gross gross hand. I don't know what I was thinking making that check-raise and setting up a 1/2-stack pot for the turn when I'm OOP. Well, I guess I do know what I was thinking: I wanted to push out hands like T8 and, if possible, bigger flush draws. I was worried that if I just bet I could end up with a couple calls and not have a good idea of where I was if a third flush card came off.
I'm really not sure what the best line on the flop is actually...
On the turn I think I should've just slowed down...I think there's a good chance I get a free card cos he often has a weak made hand. I don't think bigger flush draws make up a big part of his range at this point, and I don't gain as much now if I can push them out since I'm now beating them.
