Stacks are
Hero $900
Villain Covers easy
Caller has $250
SB $600

Caller is passive/weak. Had flatted aces preflop with no real plan IMO. Hadn't gotten out of line ever and been quiet

Villain is pretty passive preflop but likes to play lots of connecting/suited cards, often limping but has increased his aggro factor a touch over the last hour. He usually has it when he fires up so far

SB is a whale who can hold and bet anything

Hero BB is dealt T 3

4 limpers including SB, hero checks

Flop: T 9 J
SB leads $20, Hero raises to $50, UTG pauses for 20 and calls, Villian raises to $150, SB snap folds

Hero?

We have small pot history together but nothing major or influencing

Grunch:I like the raise OTF, now that we are raised again it is a sucky spot.

We are playing the hand OOP, if he has a straight we are drawing to 9 outs, that is if other villain is not drawing either. Now if villain is raising out with the ace high flush you are dead on the flush and you are not in a spot to call off wih third pair.

I think even with implied odds you are at best drawing to 9 outs but more likely 5-7 outs. Essentially you will be playing the hand blind if you do hit.

Looks to be a clear fold.

Fold.

This is a clear fold with these stack sizes and such a coordinated board. I also prefer a call and not a raise on the flop.

Pair + a flush draw is a monster when:

its a raised pot and we're likely to be facing an overpair
our kicker is an overcard to the board

I don't think villain is fooling around here. He has a hand with good equity. We're flipping at best, made str8s crush us and this is not a spot where I want to play for stacks.

I'm in the call line of thinking here as well. Yes we flopped a ton of equity. However, we will only get action from a range that does very well vs our hand. If there was a raise pf and you somehow saw this flop there might be more merit to raising flop.

I feel like you fell into some lazy thinking here where too many players go "damn...nice flop for my hand, I need to raise here". You made a raise obviously with no plan as to what to do when played back at which I think should be the focal point of this hand.

I think it's a call on flop and if you have a player specific reason to raise it should result in a raise get it in line. Even then I still think when you take that line you will be behind almost always when called.

Grunch...

If we are up against a made straight, then we don't have enough equity to call this profitably. Given your description of villain, I don't think we can add much more to his range at this point. Perhaps something like AJ, but then we would need to a weighed calculation and I still don't think the equity is there, especially considering are T high flush draw and he may have a redraw if he has Ad and diamond comes on the turn.

I think it is a fold.

you could be up against a higher FD and 2 pair+ given how the action went down. easy fold.

Actually if it was just the straight we call here

Why do you think flatting here is correct, we have a decently strong hand, the whale led into us. We should essentially isolate

You have a strong drawing hand...figure it out.

But your right, just shovel it in now. See how you do.

Great post, keep it up.

We raise and then we get re-raised should be setting off alarm bells, especially on a limped pot, its not like we have the flopped nuts or drawing to the nuts. Just fold it off and wait for better spot, right?

Fold, ur drawing dead to the flush, worst case scenario for the other guy is Top 2 pair?

I see now. I sometimes make the mistake of doing 150 / 250 instead of 150 / 250 + 150. That is pretty elementary mistake that I need to work on.

Well no, youwouldbe calling with 100 to.win 270, so 2.7 to 1

flush outs 9

Equity 36% *2.7+Implied odds
