Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6266755, member: 397965"] Preflop Standard defend Flop I think, a lot of people would raise with a hand like this, but I also think, its a pretty substantial mistake, because if we break down his range, what does a raise really accomplish? He is never folding a better hand, so we are not semibluffing, and there are also not to many worse hands, that continue. If he has a hand like Ac9h, is he really going to call a raise trying to draw to a 9-high flush on a 4-flush board? Probably not if he is on the tighter side, as you say, and when you have Kh in your hand, you dont need to protect against random bad flushdraws. In fact you want to keep them in, so they can pay you off, if the 4-flush comes. You also dont want to bloat the pot to much, because you are drawing to a very obvious second nuts, and if the pot get very bloated, you are often going to be against exactly the nuts. Turn I completely agree with your reason for checking, and this very much point back to the flop action. Because when we raise a draw on the flop, make it on the turn, and now have to check for pot control, then we definitely did something wrong. As played of course a standard check-call. River Not totally loving that he bet again, especially not since the board is now also paired. But you are very high in your range and getting 4:1, so you only need to be good 1 out of 5 times, and your hand is also somewhat underrepresented after check-calling the turn. So I would also pay this off, and for me the only mistake in the hand was raising the flop and helping to build the pot for a hand, that had you absolutely crushed the whole way. [/QUOTE]
