I have 300 eff 1/3 nl

Main villain is old guy with 600 in front he looks like a pretty classic tight but not quite true omc. Just plays few hands and is able to make the folds with second best hands post flop that your average 1/3 station will call is my read

two loose passive players who I cover limp from mp I make it 15 on the button with A7 BB(main V) and limpers call. I think my standard sizing here would be 20 which I like a little better.

Flop comes K 85 x x x

I decide to check behind to sandbag here with the nut flush because I don't fear any turn card and to let opponents catch up. I think I shouldn't be trapping in hindsight because I will bet all my good heart hands and a lot of strong K here. Therefore its important to bet a lot of flushes too. I was thinking its good to have some flushes in my check back range and nut flushes are invulnerable here so they work best for that. However I don't think villains are sophisticated enough to bluff me off my weaker hands that I do decide to check back. Therefore I should just bet all my flushes because if the 4th heart comes that will kill my action against a K. Also I am younger and most aggressive at table so people like to think I'm bluffing and when I actually have it I need to bet as well.

Turn 4x BB leads for 25 fold fold, hero?

Heads up I don't mind the flop check but multiway almost always bet. Probably 100% on this board where you can represent a KX guarding against a flush draw.

You should raise villain's turn bet, around $80/$90. It will mostly result in folds because it looks like villain is probing. But if villain is probing with something weak your not getting much more money anyways. Your money comes from villain having a worse flush or a queen high draw or a set and sticking around to any reasonable raise.

good point about multiway vs heads up making this lean a lot more towards a flop bet just because there are more people we can get value from

I definitely lead this flop. No one will give you credit for the nuts and it is the best street to get max value from any smaller flushes or Qx Jx draws. Worst thing is to slowplay and then have a 4th heart come.

AP, raise the turn to $60 or $70.

+1 what Quad said

I lead the flop multi-way. I can go either way on turn. It kind of depends on how V sees me. If he thinks I'm nitty, I flat. If he thinks I'm LAGy, I raise.

When you have the nuts, you should generally attempt to put more money into the pot at every possible opportunity.

Flop check is very bad in a vacuum vs 1/3 population. Also yeah when you have an aggro image you just have to abuse it and punish people for calling down too light (which is a common reaction to “bullies”) and checking here is doing the exact opposite of that

It’s also extremely obvious to the max when you go berserk on future streets with aggression, to anyone who has half a brain as to what you have.

Flop is the #1 street to make money. Most people are calling with any heart here and piles of other garbage. Maybe H thinks he is being clever but when I see a maniac start check calling its always a huge hand and the great maniacs would never slowplay here.

Great points everyone feel like it’s a simple spot and everyone agrees just bet flop so

results:

I raised to 100 and he folded pretty fast. I tried applying this today where I went bet bet shove as preflop caller when I flopped quads on 556 he called twice with what he said was an overpair.

Important to remind myself that whenever we slow play the jig is up once we raise a later street. So just bet bet bet your nut hands in position

If there’s one thing I’ve learned playing this game, it’s that people will make absurd calls. I have no idea why, I have no idea what’s in their hand, I have no idea what they’re thinking. They just click call. So blast that pot.
