Button cold calls & raises flop

[Gary Frates]

I had tptk. Board is full of big cards. I feel like I played this hand weakly. Would you have been more aggressive on the river and/or turn--getting at least one check raise in?

The only read I had on this player is that he would play hands like A3 to the river against AT and he seemed average--I only played a short time at this table.

this looks okay. is he going to ever show up with like k7 coldcalled then raise the flop with it? if so 3betting the flop some of the time is okay. but this looks standard.

I would have 3-bet the flop and I don't like calling and check-raising the turn against an unknown (too many reasons for him to check behind on the turn).

Seconded. Either 3bet flop or c/r turn. This is some aggro FD or MP+draw combo sooo often.

Grunch.

I would 3bet the flop, you have TPTK and a backdoor nut straight flush draw. If he's on a flush draw the best he has is Jxs, most likely, he's on an Ace, King or Queen-rag. (Then I would wuss out and check-call all the way to SD.)

btw, did that thing bite her hand or what?

[MPB]

Trying to c/r the Turn or River is too dangeorous IMHO because he will really make you pay if he has a made strong hand and he might take a free card if he has a draw. I prefer 3-betting the flop and leading the turn.
