Message: [QUOTE="primrose, post: 7142004, member: 1036998"] In this hand, UTG+3 opens to 14 and LJ flats. I'm in the CO with :ks4: :qs4: . This is a super nice hand but the LJ is the nittiest player in the casino (plus,it's not a bad hand to go mutliway) so I'm not 3betting. I flat. The BN comes along as well as does the SB. The SB is a very weak player, super straight-forward, I don't think he has bluffed a single time since we've played, and he kept betting far too small when he hit something. Flop comes :6s4: :5c4: :js4: (Pot=74). The SB donks for 14, and UTG+3 and LJ fold. You could raise here, but since I have position and I think I have a huge skill edge against the SB, I decide to just check and, if he seems weak on the Turn, make a play there. So I call. BN folds. We're now heads-up. Turn comes the :3s4: (Pot=102), giving me the second nuts. Sweet! SB checks. I have no reason to assume SB has a flush himself, and if I bet large now, my hand becomes quite obvious. But rather than checking, I decide to bet tiny, I think this probably looks weakest. I bet 20. SB calls. River comes the :7d4: (Pot=144), a mostly harmless card. A few straights get there, but it's not very likely. SB checks again. So, now what? Obviously you don't just wanna blast it because your hand is strong. What matters is, how strong is the opponent? And I think my opponent is most likely to have a mediocre pair, like a 6, maybe a Jack. I don't think one pair will pay very much at all. So I bet tiny again, just 20. However, SB raises to 53. This changes everything; for a weak player like this, especially given his weak sizing with strong hands in the past, this raise is extremely strong. Even though this is an odd way for him to have played a flush, I still think that this is what he has now. So of course I should raise. But how much? Villain had about 300 chips left going into the River, and I also had about that many. My action and thoughts (post your thoughts before reading this): [SPOILER]I raised to 100, which I think was an extremely weak play. This is one of those cases where in retrospect, I know the play is bad, I would never recommend it if someone else posted the hand, in the moment I was scared of the nut flush for some reason. I think this was probably the biggest blunder I've made this week. Anyway, Villain instantly calls with :10s4: :7s4: . I think the good options here were (1) go all-in, or (2) maybe size down just a little and raise something like 200 since it's not inconceivable that he could fold a flush to a jam. (However, he'd never fold a flush to 200 I don't think, and if he has a non-flush he's probably folding to any raise, so 200 is just way better than 100.) And if you do make it 200 and he jams on top of it, you could make a ridiculous hero fold against the nut flush. But, what do you think? And what about flop and Turn?[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
