1/2 NL

Villian 1(covers) is mp--> has TAG image... Thinking player
Hero($160) is in CO
Villian 2 is in sb

On to the hand

V1 raises to $12
Hero flats w A9h
V2 in sb flats

Flop($38) A

V1 leads for $25
Hero flats
V2 folds

Turn($88) A

V1 leads for $45
Hero??

Is it better to flat on turn or raise w 2 flush draws & straight draws out there? We have $123 behind before the $45 turn bet

I would have min-raised the flop not the turn. Raising the turn is more likely to fold out Ax that might call a flop raise and then get sucked into further betting with these short stack sizes.

I would now shove the turn.

I think raising flop to something like 60 or 65, with a plan to shove all turns is good.

Ap, definitely ship it in. Lots of cards can come to squash your action.

Raise flop and gii on turn somehow. As played easy shove on turn.

flatting flop is fine as is raising, raising does look quite strong though, shove turn

~4 SPR with top 2p three ways to the flop? We are going broke.

Raise the flop to $60, then ship the turn.

As played, just ship it right now. With V's bet there's $133 in the pot and we have only $123 behind.

Probably a fold pre given stack sizes.
If we were deeper, sure.

As player, raise flop.
Lots of get value from, lots of worse hands that we can charge a good price to.
Lots of turn cards that will kill the action / give us the worst hand.
