Since villan overbet the flop pot I'm just calling and not rasing the flop as we're likely get rrz, which is what happened.

OOP 4way -check/call then bet if we hit our frush/2pair is the passive line I often take.

I don't think there's merit in leading then raising AI on this flop(b3bAI) as I think likelyhood of all villans folding is small.

As played, if your going to call COs 3bet u might as well shove given he's got like 15bbs left. Preflop calling OOP Axs is fine given likely multiway nature of pot but usually I raise/fold Scs/Axs in the blinds.

I think villan has Ax, more like Ak/AQ here but given you haven't given any reads it's hard to say -this is unlimited bet holdem where READS est mucha importante.

I'd have lead the flop, and if I check-raised I'd raise more. 2.7 or osmething. CO likes his hand though, I think you are basically playing for a flush. He's got you out-kickered probably.


The CO's play is pretty dreadful. Betting .55 into a $10 pot is strange, so calling is obviously correct, you are getting a great price. But when you miss the flush I think you're toast.

Remember your hand. It's just top pair with a non-existent kicker -- anyone else with an ace has you beat. So why raise the flop? Just play for the draw with so many people in the pot. But if you do raise, raise way more than that -- 2.5 or so.
