well im thinking about that vs the revers implied odds of a higher flush...
you bluffed UTG with 22 BB's, what reverse implied odds?
Also, I still bet river, most 1 card flushes fold turn anyway so there's no need to let him bluff river since he's probablt gonna have a valuehand if he calls turn anyway
but one card flushes will likely be combos with pair and straights even....
i was worried im losing value by seeing a river..
no point in worrying about things like that unless you have like 200 BB's. I'm probably stacking off at least 80 with a flush like this, you're not playing PLO. Shoving turn is bad, you miss value on the turn
edit: or a draw for that matter
You put your hand in the cookie jar and managed to find a hero cookie. This flop is gin for your hand, so why are we checking here instead of building a pot.
I cbet flop about 2/3rds pot and jam turn. But without the cbet, you're now stuck hoping one other villain has hit hard enough to get your stack in. If you cbet the flop, your stack would probably be in here.
If you're behind, well....that's what we get for playing this hand. So just stick it in and hope they Qc is still in the deck.
not sure if thats enough to justify not seeing a river...
so i think here im checkraising to rep a hand like aces hoping theres enough air in their range but i could also check flat a small bet because it looks super strong and jam most non club turns....
but mainly i don't want to cbet and call off vs a made hand....and i don't want weak hands to fold yet because if i can make my flush cheaply they might not be able to lay down.....
but to come to think of it i think i checked here because i knew they would bet for fear of a check raise
aq would i suppose....
edit: ima post some ranges in a bit i think....
Agreed.
If you check it through and the turn is a complete blank or like an offsuit King or jack, your hand has essentially turned to crap.
With only 22bb and this board, I am doing anything I can to get as many chips in the pot, and the best way to do that is to bet.
The turn club may actually kill a bunch of your action now as some may see you checking the flop so not to get blown off a big draw.....but anyway, there is no good reason not to just bet and get it in here.
