Straight on single suit flop
0.50/1 5 handed
Folded to hero on the button. Hero, been playing a little loose, makes it $3 to go with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Each with $100 behind. Small and Big blind call. Flop comes Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] check, check, hero bets $8 into $9 pot. small blind raises to $25. BB folds. Hero's best action? |

Insta shove and don't think twice. Villain could have two pair, 98, or a million different combo draws. Maybe even K9.

Re: Straight on single suit flop
Raise more preflop. You have any reads on SB? Against most players I probably stack off. Either call flop and raise a/i any non-[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or reraise flop a/i.

I check, non- [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] comes, he pushes for $62...

Re: Straight on single suit flop
I think just calling here sucks. Aside from giving a free card, a diamond kills your action from all the two pair and lower straight combos he could have.

Then it gets checked down and I still win...lower variance?

Re: Straight on single suit flop
I mean if he has no diamond and one comes on the turn then it might get checked down anyway

Re: Straight on single suit flop
Dude the variance involved in a given play should have no bearing on your decision whatsoever. All that matters is what is most profitable.
