not sure if i could have called with a flushdraw(and runner runner straight i suppose)

edit:
when i hit the flush, i minraised because i figured if he had a pair, he was drawing dead and he would fold to a shove, if he hit trips or 2 pair on the turn he would call a shove while im still ahead.

if he had 2 pair he would call a bet regardless of the size, so there was really no difference between shoving now and shoving on the river, however if the river paired the board i could bet/fold(depending on his raise)

he could have also been chasing a straight, or had a lower flush, both of which i was ahead of regardless of whether or not he hit them, and there was no chance of him having/drawing on a straightflush as i had both ends of it(A and 9).

basically i knew he was either drawing dead, or had maximum 4 outs(full house) which is the ONLY reason i didnt shove the turn

You can play such a draw more aggresive.
Bet / Shove on flop !

The way you played the hand is way to obvious.
Every fish knows you got the flush,
when you c/c flop and min c/r the turn.

Villain only called because he is a bad players, and bad players can not fold top two.


i assumed you should not play a draw aggresssively on a free play... only after a preflop raise.

thanks for your input, i will do this next time.

I would do the same. Nice play!


now that i look back i realise that while my flop play may have been correct(or may not have) i really should have shoved the turn, min raise gives him odds to draw to a full house...


Hi Semesa,

as greyboy said play this strong draws more aggressive, check raise the flop to 2,5$ call push or push the turn. Very often your ace and sometimes also the 9 is clean.

Best Regards
