I don't know if my CBet was good, because I want some suited connector to hit their flush draws in the turn, but I am not happy of seeing stright draws completed in the turn. It was good? And, when my Cbet is raised, it is a good push? I think that he can only do that with AA, KK, QQ, or sets and straights... and with that I have 30% of equity.
What do you think?
The HJ is a 19, 19, 0 and 33% of check raise in 64 hands.
Would you check call? And what about this flop discounts it from c-betting? Is it because it's a 3bet pot?
You want to x flop because u rarely have 55s, 77s, 99s as a 4 better pre, but meanwhile MP can have those - you end up having to play 170bbs with a flush draw against a set lol. U wouldn’t be check calling since ur in position.

We're closing the action, so we take a free card with our equity. It's close between cbet/checking as they've mentioned but since we're 3 handed our equity is a lower compared to if we we're HU.
They also have more 2pair+ type of hands in their range on this board which makes a check better.

It's a bad flop for our range and we need flushes in our check back range. Keeping worse Kx and Ax is great. We can always call turn and possibly win on the river against bluffs.
Don't be obessed with cbetting just because it's (massively) profitable. Checking is very profitable too.
vulnerable ovp, draws (not just fd and oesd) mostly. dont think we should have any set. We should also bet nut flush draws and less vulnerable ovp.
But you have said that we should have flushes in our checkback range, and that we have to bet flush draws and the nut flush draws. I have the nut flush draw and 2 overcards. Is this not enough?
