Final pot: t1005


First of all, this isnt a bad beat post. My main question here is what do I do on the turn? This guy just donkbet 30 into a 900 pot when the flush came after a raise and coldcaller on the flop. What are the chances one of them has the flush here? If it were HU, I'm probably just pushing here, but I'm actually just as worried about MP3 as I am BB. In retrospect, I probably should have made it a little more on the flop as well right?

No reads on these guys yet.

since the other guy came along also, i feel like you played the hand fine and it just is [censored] luck. if you were HU i may get aggro on the turn, but you dont want to blast yourself off boat outs if youre behind or chase anyone away when youre ahead(ie just calling turn)....you cant call the river..

basically the bigger part of their range(s) a flush is, this hand comes closer to having been played "well". if you dont put them on flushes you need to get more money in the pot, but again, looks ok

Tought situation man. I think you did good by folding. I'm guessing that minbet was the guy trying to act weak, meaning he has the flush. And if he doesn't, villain number two might have it... I'm not very good at odds but i think you are behind.

even at this buy in (more so because people love to chase draws) i feel as though 2 flop callers may create cause for concern on a club turn, but if you had created a big enough pot i would also not mind this line.

Closer to t300 on the flop.
