Spewage or value?

ScoobyD

I'm still undecided.

Not much of a read on the player, although he's playing a wide range of hands, and he's playing badly in general (loose calls, hopeless bluffs, etc.). Not really a crazy lag, just more of an unpredictable moron.

In hindsight I'm thinking that everything is good until the turn cap which may be slightly spewing, but other than that, I play it the same...

I think I figured I'm not a huge dog to a flush (on the turn) (which I'm likely behind to), but the fact that if I'm ahead to an overplayed 2 pair or an underset I'm a MILE ahead here swung me to keep plugging away.

I would also have bet or raised at every possible opportunity during this hand.

On the turn, the fact that your heads-up opponent can have many hands other than a made flush will more than make up for the fact that you're only a small dog if that happens to be the case. Conversely, your opponent is drawing to 1 out or less with the vast majority of his non-flush hands. There is excellent value in this scenario.

I think I'd hit the raise button as quick as possible during this hand. Over pair on the flop with nut flush draw, turn gives a set I'd be bet bet bet.

You don't really need advice on this hand do you? Get all the money in that you can in every spot, then get some more in.

W/ the ace of trump in my hand I am probably raising the turn unimproved; I am certainly doing so when I hit my set. River and preflop are obvious and your equity against almost anything makes capping the flop easy. Well played.
