I 3 bet with A hi...

[bennyhana]

Is this a good flop for that?

Our guy here is 15/6/.92

I'm pretty sure he has a Q and I doubt I'll see a cap unless he has a 6. Am I too wild and crazy?

1. Do you think he can find a fold on a blank turn?
2. Do you think he is more likely to fold to a c/r or a donk if you hit your flush on the turn?

With it HU I don't care for the raise too much unless you think he folds the turn or will pay you off if you hit your flush or your A.

I'd rather be in position and do this. If you think he has a Q, he's not folding and you're not getting immediate value for your raise. Therefore, the only reason to do it is for a free card.

I'm sure you bet thinking best case was 4 callers but CO's raise changed that to worst case (HU with a draw)in a hurry. Even if you simply call the raise you would have enough to call 1 on the turn and see the river card. I wouldn't have three bet. You are OOP and not going to see a free turn

[BigBadBabar]

benny, your play seems pretty standard for that 1/2 fulltilt game [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i don't think it's optimal though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

With that AF he's calling down anything from here. Raising any draw is pointless unless you think he'll give you a free card on the turn. If you'd check/raised this flop, then he might buy that you're going to try it again, but bet/3-betting the flop followed by checking the turn screams that you're pumping a draw.

[x] I like it.

*G*

You have 9 outs from your flush draw here, and 1.5 ace outs, discounted because of the paired board, giving us immediate pot odds of ~3.5. I think four people would have to stay on through the flop for this to end up paying off. I check this flop, letting one of LP players blow the pot up for my draws, and because it is less likely the blinds have something they would c/r with.

[Shillx]

It would make more sense if you were in the big bling or if he could actually have trips. Now it is a game of chicken and you probably won't win much if a [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] does roll off (look at it from his POV, he is basically getting freerolled if a club comes and he has Qx). You should do this if it will get him to fold a better hand (seems dubious here but sometimes it is worth a try) or if he will incorrectly give you a queen and go 4 bets when you end up making a flush.

so unless you're checking the turn and planning on him checking behind his TP, this play is obviously not +EV.

sorry.
