[Closed] NL50 FR - A6s, FD

I think IP here, it might be better to call, and hope to attract some more money behind you here. Raising the turn then would have more impact.

I reckon that your semi bluff raise is too obvoious a flush draw in this spot. Villain is short stacked and his bet looks like a protection bet with TPgoodK. He wouldn't bet air in a multiway pot with his short stack.

And a shortstack with Top pair has to push the rest of his stack against your raise since your bet looks like a freecard/semibluff raise on this board.
-->my line: --> Call flop and without improvement: check/fold on turn.

I like the semibluff - you get the pot so often...

no offence, but I think that's too easy, just semibluffing everywhere because you "get the pot so often" is imho -ev when you are such careless about the right spots.

You're ignoring the following facts:
- villain bets 95% for protection because he bets into an unraised multiway pot with 4 players still to act which is a strong move (very likely TP or better). It's a rather weak bet for protection with less than half the pot but I see that often from players, they just want to check out how much their made hand is worth with a minimum of investment.
- he is shortstacked so with such a made hand, he has no other choice than pushing all-in, especially when our play smells so much like a freecard raise for a draw. He is favourite.
- there are 3 players still to act after us (coldcalls or reraise is likely from a two pair, set, TPTK)!!

Conclusion: There is not enough fold equity to justify a semibluff in a multiway-pot with several players to act behind us, especially against a shortstack player.

But maybe I'm thinking too much about my opponents hands for this NL level and rather just should semibluff...
