Chasing the nut flush - AKo

[uvorange]

with a flop like that, the villian could have 87 of clubs. he would have been drawing the nut straight flush with two of those cards, cutting your outs down to 7. it probably would've been better to keep the CO in the hand to hold up your ever so slight pot equity in this case.

thanks for the responses. I have no idea why I called the river as I knew I was beaten. It's things like that that really annoy me about the way I play at the moment. I can read all the theory in the world but until I cut out the stupid calls I'll be leaking money all over.

I still leak money making these calls as well. Thats why I'm playing nanos until I can rid myself of these leaks.

you're on a flush draw with a couple of overcards....if the guy has the flush (which is a definite possibility since he 3-bets the preflop raiser)...you
have 9 outs.....if he doesn't have the flush 3-betting is possibly indicating
more than a pair....in that case also your overcards are no good....so when
CO folds, there is just two of you.....you have a probability of about 1/3 to
hit your flush by the river......so every dollar you put in means you will get
back on average 2/3 of a dollar....thus capping the flop was a bad bet.

7 outs, so in that case he goes down to 29% equity.

Ooops....good catch! 7 outs.......not 9......

I like the flop raise since you've got a player caught in between, but the flop cap is just spewing.

You're 2:1 to make your flush (there's a good chance that your overcards are no good and offer no redraws) so you need another player in the mix to make this a bet for value.

I wouldn't have capped the flop, nor would I have called it in the end.

can not cap the flop with these limits. no one will fold for another bet. i call down to the river most it will cost is another 20 cents
