good hand.

I think I'd fold the river UI, though.

Small pot, potentially trapped, yada yada.

how about raising the flop for value/free card play?

D'oh! I completely missed the flush draw...yeah, I think this might be a decent raise on the flop with position.

What, the first or second time around on the turn? The first time around Hero has the best hand the majority of the time here, so a raise is perfect. The second time around he's closing the action getting 10:1 with a boatload of outs to the nuts.

HELP JUST READ COMMENTS AFTER GRUNCHING BELOW: I AM WAY OFF BASE???


*grunch*

Stand to be corrected but are you actually adding value here? You don't have a great kicker for your ace and your villian could have the same number of outs to a flush draw as you do to yours. I don't generally regard myself as value-betting unless I have a more than 50% feel that I'm going to win this and I'd feel I'm possibly up against:
- pair of aces with better kicker
- 2 pairs
- flush draw with the diamonds

Against that I have a shot at a flush draw and also a slim chance of another ace falling (which might not even help)

Overall, I just don't think I'm ahead here and given there's only a 20% chance of catching the flush, I would probably call down from the turn.

This is a really strong CR from SB trying to trap u in the middle. I believe his most likely holding is A9 or A7. He shouldn't call the flop with just an ace (and he can't have Ace+flushdraw). And a set or lower two-pair is likely to raise this flop with many draws. I would just call.
