PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.02/$0.05 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker
I'm not happy with this hand and it's a spot I always find tricky to play, especially against unknowns. I don't second barrel because I don't see many weaker hands call me a second time OTT. However, after my check/call, I have the problem that villain almost never bluff me, so I bet which makes my hand pretty obvious. So my line doesn't make much sense. Either check/call the turn and check/raise the river; or bet/? the turn and bet the river (or check if the flush won't arrive).
