How to play a draw.

Only 27 hands on villian. What's the best flop line vs unknown here? b3b or b/call? Is this turn fold way too nitty? Villian had like $134 left.

if you are going to raise this preflop you should be 3 betting the flop with it imo.

I would make it like 110 total on the flop and call a push if he pushes. I hate how you played this hand on the flop.

[Jay Riall]

Shovel the flop. Turn looks ok as played.

What do you think is wrong with 3 betting flop ?

[BombayBadboy]

Getting it in on this flop is almost never bad. I'd get it in there for sure.

As played I think the turn fold is fine. We are only really happy if we hit out FD on the river.

I figured against a set I have some reverse implied odds if any at all. Against a higher flush draw the same. And against a bluff I'm not gonna get paid off if I hit. I'm only getting 2.5 to one on one card and am not sure what outs are live. I dunno, I couldn't calculate all the possibilities in my head against an unknowns range so I erred on teh side of caution/low variance.
