Straight flush, perfect card on turn?
In this hand I flop the stone cold nuts. Should I be raising villian's flop bet on the theory that he'll think I'm on a draw and call with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]? Or flat calling as I did here and looking to let the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 'catch up'? Maybe getting calls or raises from the blinds? How should I play this and why?

Re: Straight flush, perfect card on turn?
I'd make a small raise on the flop, say to 3. Then bet most of the pot on the turn, simpy because I want to play for stacks and build the pot. By just calling the flop, you actually keep the pot small.

[/ QUOTE ] A flop raise will probably be called by an OP so get some more money in on flop before a 4th spade comes and possibly kills your action. Any big spade is calling anyway. |

Raise, you want to play for stacks so you need a bigger pot.

Turn bet looks good to me, I'd bet the same. Sometimes you just not going to lure in the guy...

Re: Straight flush, perfect card on turn?
Any reads?
If CO is the kinda of player that likes to take a stab at the pot often then a call is fine. But if he is pretty passive then you wanna be raising this as you will probably get good value from his range. |
