100NL AKw/flush draw and flop blank

[DrRock]

Villain is 25/20/2.3 seems solid to me. This is the third hand in the last few minutes that either of us has repopped the other.

Interesting spot,i might have to go down in flames here.You have a giant draw,youve led all hand,i can see checking but id hate to lose any fold equity and control of the hand,id fire a bet.

[DrRock]

how much?

[5thStreetHog]

Pot is 82$ u have about $100,if u bet your basically committing,id get em all in.Im wondering if anyone else has different thoughts,i cant see getting away from this one,but does anyone take a different route and slow down on the turn???

This really depends on how loose you think he is calling this RR pf. If hes calling loose he could easily have some pair like TT or 99. I would probebly go for a C/R AI, betting out is so awkward and really dosent get much to fold.

BTW: if you check there is also the possibility of a free card which would be great for you.

I hate this.If you check and let him raise you lose all fold equity,OP has not enough chips to fold out villian with a c/r.I agree that a free card wouldnt be bad,but at what price do we pay to take that chance.

I think I tend to agree with this. Our only chance of getting him to fold with a c/r is if he is bluffing. I dont see him betting many hands he doesnt go all in with.

[Dan Bitel]

not deep enough to C/R. Just bet/call it.

Also, preflop is far to small

[FGators]

Preflop did mess this up. Bet like $65 and begrudingly call his push if it happens.

I actually c/c this turn often b/c I don't think villain can put you on the nut flush draw or needing a T for the straight. If he's solid, there's a good chance he has QQ- I don't know what else he smooth calls the flop with, except TT. Therefore, since I think his hand is exactly QQ or TT, there is a 50-50 chance if you bet the turn he'll likely fold, or if u bet the turn he'll shove all in. I think c/c is best here b/c if he bets decently, he has trip Q's and you know that. If he checks behind, you can bluff most likely vs TT from solid player.
