I'm betting close to pot and push if they raise.

And call their push when the push with the A or K or clubs.

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $1.25</font>, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($5.1, 4 players) BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $3.25</font>, Button folds, BB calls, UTG folds.

I also figured, if anyone is slowplaying a flopped flush, I'd find out when I'm getting raised. Any straight would have to bet to protect themselves, so they'd raise, too. I decided to bet $3.25. Why not $5? I can't really tell. I typically continue in the range of 2/3-3/4 pot. This is slightly below 2/3, a slight miscalculation. I just wanted someone chasing the flush to call.

If someone pushed behind me, I'd be in a tough spot. But that didn't happen.

I got one caller and gained position.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($11.6, 2 players) BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ?</font>

this is a very risky move- you are trying to represent the bet for a free drawing card followed by a 'bluff' when a blank hits. If this was a 100NL game I might like this- you might need a little more deception there- but this is 25NL, and that isn't neccesary. He should bet. This is where chasers make the largest mistake, and we should push that advantage. bet at least 8.

PF: I like limping. Why not? Raising isn't gonna win you the pot, and you're just cutting down on your implied odds when you do hit. However, my view isn't very popular around here and it's quite possible that I just don't understand the wonderfulness of suited connectors.

Flop: You bet too small. People are probably calling with the Ac anyway, so let them make as big a mistake as possible.

Turn: Check behind. Your hand isn't really that good, I certainly don't want to stack off with TPWK on a 3 to a straight flush board.. If a 4th club comes, fold to most bets. If the river is safe, call a moderate bet. If you complete your straight, you can consider shoving.

There are too many draws/river scare cards to check behind. I bet out $8-$10. If called, you can always check behind on the river.
