Final Pot: 12 BB


My main questions here are:

1) Should I be raising the flop here with such a great drawing hand?

2) Did the turn require a raise also?

Overall was there a better way to play this hand or was everything perfect [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

well played, i might cap the flop to keep control of the hand but other than that i would take the same line

I'm not sure whether it matters whether you cap the flop or not. You are probably not that far ahead of his range equity-wise after he three-bet here. The only reason I would say capping is best is because it disguises that you are on a draw to some degree (the nut flush draw would probably just call the third bet) -- but you are on one of the biggest draws possible which isn't THAT big of a dog to top set. If you cap, he could put you on aces - which would be drawing thin to the 88o (which is by far his most likely holding).

He limp/called PF, so I'm guessing he either has top two or one of the top two sets. For this reason, I think it would really be a disaster to raise the turn card. I'm not even sure I would like raising the turn if you had turned top pair, especially if it were a king (a set of tens is still the second nuts).

I like the way you played it. I'm not sure you were drawing as thick as you thought you were.

I think you played it identically to how I would have played it.

The flop bet/reraise from villain indicates a strong hand. Your K/Q outs MIGHT not be any good. No sense in capping the flop here. However, if BB and CO stayed in the hand, I probably would have raised for value. (anyone disagree?)

The turn card gives you more outs, but I still don't think you have enough equity to raise, especially heads-up. You only have one card to see, and you can safely fold the river unimproved. No need to risk 2 bets (or even 3) to fold the river.

50% of the time I would play it exactly the way you played it. The other 50% I would cap flop, check behind or check/call the turn, bet/raise the river (obviously)

[lozen]

I actually never looked at the hand History till now and he was playing 10-9 Hearts

[FishHooks]

I would play this the same way.

It seems fine.

Although you've got a boatload of outs on the turn, Villain has shown enough strength vs. a PFR that I don't think you're getting a fold very often at all with a semibluff-raise.
