Do you guys really think a lot of people c/r fold here with a bare A?

No, I think a lot of people are c/r here with all kinds of outlandish [censored] and will follow up and fire this turn with high frequency.

If you're playing in the same games I am, c-bets are raised/checkraised with such frequency now that shoving this flop is essential just to keep these people off your back. Also, even when called and slightly behind, shania/meta considerations make this +EV imo.

Is it weird that my first instinct when I saw this hand was "shove the turn for value" ?

I definitely agree with what you're saying about metagame though, and the fact that our bet just looks like a position bet makes him even more likely to c/r with cheese.

shoving the turn for value seems like a bad idea. The guy is pot committed with AX. The only value of shoving the turn is worse draws calling - who I think come along on the flop anyways if we shove.

[censored], I misread the OP and thought we were pfr

I think the way OP played it is generally best here

Sometimes players like Villain will freeze up on the turn even with a pretty good hand and let you see the river for free

Yah, I know, but I just thought that it was such a likely bluff, and stack sizes suck for a river bluff+he's committed with draws.

Then I realized that he doesn't need to show up with the best hand very often to make that play suck, and he needs to have a good chunk of air, which he probably doesn't.

i play it the same.
you can make a easy call for 75$ on the flop and he has for sure a strong hand with that he is willing to put his stack in, if you make your flush. i dont think you have much FE and if its a move, he will give up on the turn.

the only problem about calling is, if he is on a worse flushdraw and bets strong on the turn again...

Is taking a free card here really bad 3 handed? (If so, plz explain why)

It seems like charging yourself to draw, when you risk being checkriased with air/trash ( especially if Ax isn't in your cold call range pre) is not optimal. Or do we just have SOOOO much equity that it doesn't matter?
