I had zero reads. What the hell do I do on this flop? My thinking was that I crush his range, but If I check raise and Im wrong, I have below average equity.

I would lead in to him on the flop. If he reraises I would shove.

[capodu]

lead this, you are going to get raised a lot of the time since it looks like your trying to steal. If reraised I would shove.

[qetou]

cant see how shoving can be good here...

[capodu]

lots of fold equality, and if he calls we still have outs

[AScorz]

dosen't A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] anything, K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], or J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J, kill most of your outs?

The hands we are most afraid of are bigger pairs with a diamond, but even against them we have 10 outs (6 str8, 2 straight flush, 2 set). I go for the bet/3betshove here.

We have lots of FE against better hands + we may get called by hands with less equity.
