how do u play this hand?

thank u.

bet turn 0.50 to shove river.

Why on earth didn't you bet the turn ?

bet turn then shove the river

first of all 5x pre is too big with A3s

why min re-raise river?...you either shove or call

could easily be any 10x so i call the shove and expect to be good most of the time

didnt bet the turn because: i was pretty sure he had good hand on the flop (call the cbet) and on the turn i was trying 2 look like i dont hav a flush too and hope he has good hand but not great and he will bet 4bet and call a shove with trips str8 good flush and so. but u r missing the point. there is a pair on the board. the vilian present strenght. dont u worry of the full house, maybe even quads?

I definitely worry about the full house I still call though. I think betting the turn is the way to go here. Bet sizing depends on villain but around .50 like the other guy said sounds good. Definitely no less than .40. You never really know. Villain could have 10x, lower flush, as played calling the river is kind of mandatory if you ask me!

Your opponent likely can't hand read. He's showed a lot of strength and isn't likely folding his hand.

You need bet these turns. The biggest skill you need to focus on is getting value from your monsters, not misrepresenting your hand.

Part of the reason you need to make so much value is to cover the times you miss. Now you've hit, you need to do your best to get his stack in before he realizes what happens.

By checking the turn you:
a) limit how much money can go in on the turn while you are ahead
b) limit how much money can go in on the river when he checks it to you (a large overbet on the river will surely fold out all but his best hands)
c) give your opponent a free chance to draw out on you with 2pair/sets
d) fail to recoup costs of missing your draw

Bet turn. If another heart hits you are making $0 more. You're not inducing much by checking back here. If he does have a hand like JT that last T was about the only card you are getting action on. River is fine as played. Sure, you'll be beat some time, but there are tons of worse that will pay you off.
