Did I called too much? I feel like I chased the draw with TPWK too hard, specially OTT since the straight gets there. My reasoning to call there was that we had good pot oods if the BB called. Tell me I'm wrong

Could I bluff the river?

Thank you

The straight doesn't really affect your odds of getting the flush too much, if anything it makes your chances of getting paid off on the river a lot better.

I think this is completely fine all the way through. We have enough sdv that betting the river is pointless. We don't fold out enough hands for it to be good imo. The very slight issue is that when UTG bets into the pot 3 way after limp calling he's probably fairly strong. to the point where our awful Ace is bad. Especially when it's not even that high in our range to begin with. So if you are going to fold, fold the flop, if you call the rest is fine imo.

Can you explain this part please?

So I should have call since I have good odds to get the flush on the river?

Thanks

When you call with a flush draw you have something called implied odds. Normal odds is you get 2:1 do you have enough equity to call? This happens in all-in situations, river situations where you close the action.

Implied odds takes into account money you may earn after hitting your draw. So for example if we need 2:1 on a turn call chasing a draw and we get slightly worse than 2:1 to call it is probably still a good call because we are likely to earn some money from the river.

So if villain hits a straight on the turn that greatly improves our implied odds because the stronger a hand villain has the more likely he is to put money in on the river when we hit our flush, whereas if we don't hit our flush we won't lose any more money (this gets more compicated when we start thinking about bluffs, but 2nl we don't need to worry about bluffs).

At the same time if villain has KJ that doesn't really have any real affect on the amount of diamonds in the deck. If villain only did this with KdJd then it would affect our drawing chances. This is slightly more advanced though and there are more important things for new players to think about.

I wouldn't ISO A2s. It doesn't dominate anything. There's 3 uncapped ranges left to act. Falls more into a limp behind range here IMO. As played, you got every street right. You could maybe bet river to try and get him off a chop. Probably won't work too often though.

I probably wouldn’t iso this guy with A2s just yet, only 2 hands in and he’s raised one.

I don’t think we can fold tp on the flop to a 1/2 pot bet.

On the turn if we ignore any sdv we have then we only need to win just over 11.5bb more when we make the flush for the call to break even. The pot will be 58.5bb and we’re ip. Folding would be terrible. Even though we don’t close the action. Then consider we sometimes win or chop at showdown.

X behind the river. It’s never been a bet vs a station.

For clarification we need to 13.02bb more from calling the turn to be break even.

why do you want to bluff the river?
you split the pot with most better aces, fish doesn't fold any better hands

pre you can limp along or iso to 5bb, can't say which is better

The hand is well played but your thought process is awful : folding turn would be criminal and so would bluffing river.
