50NL: Set on 3-Flush Flop

[Tinga]

No reads on short-stack Villain here. I think I f'd this one up bad. I wanted to keep it small, because of the possibility of the flush being out there already with the limping that occurred. I don't have a problem with betting/calling small push (if he has the clubs, he has the clubs), or just putting this guy in on the river if the last club doesn't hit, but I have to believe I'm beat here.

Where'd I go wrong? Anyone raising the flop?

I'm raising here most of the time. There's just too many players in the hand to let them peel off a cheap club.

Plus, I'm raising the naked Ac here most of the time too and I need some balance. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think if you call the flop bet, then you should check/call the turn.

In general, I like raising on the flop to $7.50 and seeing how the action goes from there.

As played, folding the river is good. No way villain doesn't have at least some kind of club.

I'm usually raising in this spot too, but this one played out like it was (which is why I felt that I f'd it up) -- therefore, lost/confused. I don't like them getting a free shot at this on the turn either, but I wanted to see what the next street had brought before making a decision.

I raise the flop to 4.50. If this gets me HU with the short stack; I push the turn. Villain won't always have a made flush; QJ, A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Jx, A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Qx, and possibly even weaker hands will call.

Raise flop; fold river as played.
