This one bugged me the most, folded before I took a second to think about it. Is this a flat or a raise?

#1 call all day. The draws missed and we have TPTK.

#2 is a horrible runout, I'd fold here OTR. nh.

#3 we have position with a double gutshot +fd, raise and hope to get all-in on the flop. If we get called shove turn.

1. Seems fine to me, but I probably check back flop and use the higher equity Qxhh and Txhh combos to barrel.

2. More PF. Kind of a gross flop but I think I'm still betting against weaker players. Rest seems good.

3. Would fold PF. I think I prefer 3-betting to calling, but maybe that's 3-betting too much. As played, folding flop is... bad. It's hard to construct a range where we're not at 50%+ equity, or at least incredibly close to it. We have an equity advantage against overpairs for what it's worth.

This is a flop where I have a raising range and so I don't mind raising one of the highest equity draws we can have in this spot. Not sure if that means we raise flop -> maybe shove turn or if we shove flop immediately, but I'm leaning toward the former because I'm not shoving any sets that I can have here.

Hand 1 is a snapcall.

Hand 2 is fold.

Hand 3 I would 3bet or fold pre. As played, you flopped an absolute monster. You should be at least calling the flop. Although, raising with the hope of getting it in on the flop might be higher EV.

Im a micro stakes player myself and generally ive come to realize that at this level when ppl have it, they tend to tell you.

I think being at the same skill level as you i would of called, fold, and then raised inb these situations. But then again maybe just a call on the last one. We have to think the flopped missed the HJ's range and giving the gutshot a flush draw wouldn't we want to allow our opponent to strengthen their hand a bit??

All we have is a draw... A very strong draw, but still just a draw. You want them to hit a pair on the turn, so we play for stacks with the worse hand?

Unless they hit a pair AND we hit the flush at the same time, this isn't helping. We're doing well against any realistic range on the flop. But on the turn, unless we improve, we're not doing that great.

If we put the money in the middle, better do it on the flop, when we're a favorite against AA.
Rather than on a brick turn, when we're an underdog against even random KTo that didn't hit anything.

1. nh, checking flop is an option though
2. nh but make it bigger pre
3. call pre the worse option, as played you are never ever folding it otf

So would it be optimal to flat the flop or raise? By raising if we scoop up the pot up right there then thats not a bad outcome either. We're also bloating the pot in case our draw does come in, yes?

Am I the only one who sees the first one as a clear fold? I know we are getting an amazing prize, but we are blocking flush draws and there are tons of two pair straights and sets. For the same reason I would probably check the turn to pot control.

No, you are not the only one.

H3 I would 3b or fold pre most of the time, rarely flat. AP I'm at least calling otf.
