I almost said to fold the flop but thought I'd get fought a lot over that. He has a flush here almost always. If he doesn't he has KQ or limped AA/KK.

I do this when I see into his soul, the problem is that never happens

hell, I'd be happier if you made this post if he minraised, at least that'd be such an obvious 'oh god, donk with the nuts' tell

I prefer the get it in on the flop line OOP, giving a villain with nothing but a diamond a free river is a disaster.

Gobbo, what exactly about his flop raise gives villan's hand away? the over pot sized raise? Thats some pretty sick soul reading on an unknown.

The simple fact that he raised the flop. This is like one of the biggest betting reads that someone could possibly have, raising the flop with money behind. Like, if anyone ever raises you and they're not committed to the pot they have pretty much the stone nuts in their mind.

Gobbo,
I really disagree with you on this one. While it is odd for an MP player to open limp with AK/KK+ this is the million so it is possible that he misplayed pf and now he flopped a set on a realy scary board and wants to price out draws. He also could easily have KQ/AQ in this spot or he could be semibluffing with the J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] along with another broadway card.

I think that on this scary board many people are raising the flop and betting the turn to protect their hands (or to buy a free card) and that in this instance a flop raise does not narrow his range even close to only being a flush.

In LFTV's shoes I am concerned with getting the money in here and not trying to find a fold

I would disagree and I think the last comment you said would show that you overvalue some hands in some situations. If he has AA/KK as like 1/5 of his range then this is a fold.

I can't see many hands protecting themself on the flop besides KQ that we beat. I know we have a straight etc but his range is super polarized and if we are behind we are drawing dead. We need to be ahead soo often to call him down here. So fold flop I never do it but it's right.

Looks fine. The field in the Million is so bad and with the QKA all gone the amount of potential flushes decreases a lot.

Since you have to somewhat discount the possibility of your opponent having the type of hands that you crush (specifically two-pair [AK/AQ/KQ] and sets [AA-QQ]) and the fact that he is seemingly wanting to play for stacks here, your situation isn’t that good.

Against the same hand but with the diamond redraw (J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]), he is freerolling on you and you are putting in over 20x the pot to either chop up the 400, or get scooped ~ 35% of the time.

This leaves some hands like A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], which you have around 58% equity.

I would say on average you have at worst 30% equity, and at the most 45-50%. This is from playing with Stove for a few minutes with this scenario and doing some calcs.

I don’t think playing for stacks is the right idea on this flop (or it is definitely close) but when you call the raise and a non-diamond hits, there is probably enough in the pot to crai, since you are even-money against a reasonable range on the turn (again, from doing some calcs).

I guess in this spot you have to make your decision on the flop, but there might be some value in calling to see what he does on the turn/see if a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] hits.
