Default I hate folding my cowboys but I had to do it again...=(

I haven't played against villain before but he seems to be decent with ~150bb stack at 4 tables

When I raised him on the flop and he called I was pretty sure that he had a draw, I don't think he is calling w/a set on that board. And then when the flush hits I just don't know what to do. I had the flushdraw here IF he has a set but I think I will be shown a flush here alot of times and then I'm in trouble. He might be doing this w/ AsJx but I think that he would raise preflop with that hand.

Is this a tight fold? how can I play this better?

$200 NL 1/2, hand converted by the iPoker Converter at Talking-Poker

saw flop | <font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

Button ($41.90)
SB Hero ($270.95)
BB ($85.03)
UTG <font color="#C00000">UTG ($267.87)</font>
UTG+1 ($245.75)

Preflop: Hero is in the SB with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls 2, 2 folds, Hero raises to 9, 1 fold, UTG calls 8.

Flop (22) J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero bets 16, UTG raises to 44, Hero raises to 74, UTG calls 46.

Turn (202) T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero checks, UTG moves all-in for 167.87, 1 fold

What about calling the flop and then bet / folding the turn when a blank comes ??
on this turn i'd like to check / call, if he shoves i'l fold.


other opinions please [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you're going to 3-bet the flop make it bigger so that you don't have a [censored] turn decision oop.

Considering the stacksizes I like a call on the flop and maybe a c/c on this turn too if his turn bet is not too big. I dont like bloating the pot on the flop here oop, I think this committs too much of your stack.

and then I have to push or call an AI on the turn cos' my hole stack is in the middle...

in retrospect I think a call on flop and c/c on the turn is the best option here.

Man, when you see that flop try to decide if you want to get it all in or not.

If you want to get it all in then bet/3bet the flop (bigger if you want, i think your size is fine personally) and then bet/call the turn.

If you don't want to get it all in, then call the flop and call (or fold here) the turn and fold the river.
