Is calling more profitable here?

[gmac]

Is flat calling his flop bet into me a more profitable play here? Given my equity I think it's alright to raise but if he is weak leading into me do I want to scare him off with a re-raise here?

I don't think flat calling has more value here. Any stats on villain btw?

[gmac]

No stats on the villain at that point in time. Perhaps I could extract more value by calling as he wouldn't be calling a re-raise with a hand stronger than my own?

A jack and a flush draw are most likely calling your raise.

I raise every time here.

[phatjeffrey]

The disadvantage in calling is that you might not get any more money out of him if a diamond hits on the turn , Raising here might still win you a big pot against KJ,QJ if the flush doesnt hit , and u have outs against a set.

i think raising is the better play.

[Genz]

You are a big favorite to win the hand at this point unless villain has a set. I raise for value here. On the turn, your equity will be much lower and then you probably have left money on the table. And a raise here can give you a free river card if you think that you can't make villain fold with a bet on the turn or you are uncertain about how much value a turn bet has.

re raise .. easy play here

I don't totaly agree on reraising here. I'll explain my thoughtproces:

You flop a pretty awesome hand, you have TPTK and the nut flushdraw unless someone makes a straightflush offcorse.

He donks into you after limping utg, with what kind of hands would he donk into you?
-KJ, QJ type of hands
-2 diamonds
-a set (but i think a set would check/raise)
-a weaker pocketpair

If we reraise now we might lose the KJ, QJ type of hands, maybe some weak diamonds aswell.
We also lose the weaker pocket pairs.

A set would shove and we'd be around a 30:70 underdog.


If we reraise here we also lose SB for sure, just calling might drag the SB along.



Anyone with me on this one?
