UTG calls, CO folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2.5</font>, SB folds, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $5</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls.

I reraise AI to his flop bet. Combo draws are powerfull cause you have FE. If he calls your are a coinflip against a hand like AK.

Default Re: So how do you play a combo draw?

well here's how it went:
Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($10.75, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB bets $7</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in $43.25</font>, BB calls.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($97.25, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $97.25)


River: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($97.25, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $97.25)

He showed KJo
[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Results:
Final pot: $97.25


I thought about it afterwards, and I felt like he *might* have only called there because the push looked like a bluff. I was thinking raise to $24, then push turn if called might have been better.

shove is fine here, they probably fold KT and worse or any queen.

raise to $24 and pushing turn is much worse because the pot will be bigger and its more "correct" for him to call a push there.

note: these plays are high variance, so don't be upset to lose several of these, because you're pretty much flippin coins
