King high Flush draw

[Harriet]

Not sure if I played this very well...Firstly should i have raised the flop(if so by how much?) or whether i should have just called. Given SBs lead and then call of my raise on the flop should i have bet the turn or just checked behind? I suspected I was probably beat when he bet on the river but felt i had to call as there is only one card that beats me and he could have been making this play with Qs, Js etc

I think you played this OK. Villain's flop bet is strange, and now we know why. You got out relatively cheaply. I think betting the turn is OK. As you wrote, only one card beats you. You have to call river, unfortunately. Tough luck.

I would raise more on flop - to 2 or 2.5. Turn bet is good and riveer call is fine.

Raise flop more. As played I bet like $3.5 on the turn. On the river as he is a shortstack I raise for value. If he has A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] well so be it.

just one question: Why do you guys all like betting the turn? it´s a WA/WB situation... I´d check behind a call a bet on the river and if he doesn´t bet i´ll make a small bet. This way he might think on the river that a small flush is good and bet it for value and if he hasn´t hit anything he´ll fold on the turn anyways...

Smaller flushes are calling the turn I think. Bet for value.
