Flop big draw: Now what

mmix85 · #1 10-05-2006, 03:41 PM

Playing $2-$4 NL. Opponent has $568 I cover.
Opponent raises to $14. Button calls. I call in small blind with QsTs.

Flop comes KhJs8s

My question is what do you think the best way to approach the hand is. Is it best to check call; lead out and 3 bet if raised; or go for a check raise and lead out turn strong.

In the actual hand the opponent bet 30 and I checkraised to 95. He called and the turn brought a 2 of diamonds. I bet 175 on turn which he called. The river brought nothing and he checked down his AK.

b3b and sandwich the preflop raiser. u can then check raise the turn or take the free card ull prb get if he has AK. its going to be tuogh for ak to call given all the action and if he does, ure still in ok shape to win it on the river

I agree. ur barely behind to his best possible holding, a set of kings or jacks (which he's putting his stack behind regardless). I want to play for stacks with this hand, so I b3b, and IMO he either goes all in or folds on the flop.

relative position would dictate a checkraise here, to try and get the button involved, or at least to throw some dead money in. betting out the flop works too though.

Given stack sizes, this is a fairly sick spot for a double-checkraise, pushing the turn one. if he checks behind the turn thats fine, you got a free card.
