I limp pre. Flop is good, not sure what underbets then calls a 5x raise, I guess some sort of combo draw trying to get the turn cheap (Qhxh, etc). That being said, turn looks good.

this is a standard line when you raise this pre

I always limp this pf.

Villains flop bet looks fishy (weakish ace or draw maybe?), hence rr is good I think..

I like pf, and flop, but I really don't like the turn at all.

That minbet on the flop is almost always a draw, middle pair, or monster. Or possibly TPNK, but not as often. Could be bottom pair but that folds to your raise. So does middle pair usually unless he's really bad or has some kind of draw to go with it.

So once he calls your flop raise, there's already a decent chance that you're behind. The K on the turn just increases that. I think I go into cheap showdown mode at this point. Check behind turn. Puke if he bets big on a blank river.

I think I also might just call on that flop. Too scary, and I'm not 100% sure I'm even protecting my lead once he minbets.

It might be weak,but I like a call on the flop.Protecting against a heart draw is so risky on this board.The flop raise
isnt a bad solution though.As played I check the turn for sure.

Yeah the more I think about it, that's probably what I would do ingame. Sucks if he's on a draw and blocking betting. But there could be so much other ugliness.
