Villain is fairly new to the table so I have no reads, just stats.

32/7/1.5/80

I am always a little unsure about the correct approach to hands like this when Villain leads the flop. Is raising the flop the best value or should I wait for the turn and a favorable card? Should I raise at all? How much value should I give my spade?


Preflop: Hero is MP1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, UTG calls.

Flop: (5.50 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="blue"> Hero?? </font>

Raise the flop for value. Call down a spade.

I would raise this flop. I believe it's an easy raise at the flop.

If you hit your flush I think it's good more often than it isn't. However, I wouldn't raise with it. He is likely to reraise anything better and fold anything worse.

So, with a flush, I'd call if bet into, and bet if checked to. I'd call any check-raise.

sounds good.

I would usually raise in this situation. His bet seems a little fishy as you raised pre-flop. If he had the flush already wouldn't he c/r you?

Peace,

I would play like UTG if I had let's say an 8. It is a scary flop and he has some fold equity to exploit by his position. That said, I think villian is betting quite light and I think you raise him for value here.
As far as the Ts goes, I would play it quite aggro with a single non pf raising opp given that the flush hits (one third of the time)

What if turn is no spade on turn?

You raise the flop, he calls. The turn is 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], he checks...

Screw the poll, what I wanted to say was that betting and calling down a check/raise is bad.
