MP: $5.59 Is 28/17/1.6
CO: $29.54
Hero (BTN): $10.85 Has been fairly loose and aggressive so far.
SB: $5.07
BB: $5.89
UTG: $2.37

Pre Flop: Hero is BTN with 8 7
1 fold, MP calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.25, SB calls $0.23, 1 fold, MP raises to $0.45, Hero calls $0.20, SB calls $0.20

Standard PFR with this hand on the button. He re-raises. Since I'm getting good odds, his stack is still relatively deep so implied odds are decent, and I'm in position I call looking for a monster.

Flop: ($1.40) T 4 2 (3 players)
SB checks, MP bets $0.20, Hero calls $0.20, SB folds

I'm getting like 7-1 to hit my flush. Obv. call. Should I have raised here? My thinking was since he rr pf if I raise he might fold his big aces and call with overpairs, so I'm only going to get called by hands that beat me.


Turn: ($1.80) 6 (2 players)
MP bets $0.40, Hero raises to $2.55, MP calls $2.15

I hit my flush. He bets pretty small. I raised here since I figured he's relatively loose and might call with an overpair. If he'd come back over the top with a really big bet then since he's a little passive I'd consider the possibility of a bigger flush (Maybe AK/Qc that's hit?) and probably try and find a fold, since he's relatively passive post-flop and would be coming back over the top of a PSR on a 3flush board, i.e saying he had a big flush, that crushed my weak flush.

River: ($6.90) Q (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks

I think i hate my check here, but I'm not sure. If I bet, am I only getting called by bigger flushes? That's what I thought at the time. Could I get more value out of weaker hands here with a small valuebet? Is he committed and going to call a larger bet with enough weaker hands? At this point I'm thinking his range just looks like overpairs/set of Queens.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks.

you get called by way more than stronger flushes. All in not close at all.

Your turn raise is good to balance your range and get value. You balance from the times you pick up on his weak bets and bluff raise, so its good to show up with a flush sometimes. He also will have a very tough time to fold any set and overpair with a club, so I would be willing to get it in on the turn. You get called by enough on the river to put him in, especially since he'll be getting good odds to call. He only has about $3.45ish left and the pot will be over $10 if you push.

Shoving is so +EV against his range, it's not funny.

Yeah I think his calling range is wider than I thought at the time since he's go so little behind and the pots so big, so I'm pretty far ahead of his calling range. Should have shoved.

Thanks for the informative replies!

He didn't reload preflop, he probably isn't that good, I shove all day and expect to be called by anything but a flush.
