Should I have pushed on the flop. I am not sure if pot odds dictated that I should have.

UTG showed AA
MP1 showed Ts7s

You can't really call here
You only get pot odds of 2:1 though, or 2.5:1 as it's almost certain UTG will call the minraise. You'd need to double the pot to get correct implied pot odds, which is unlikely on a J high flop. Any flush card and overcard often kills the action.

What I'd have done is bet out myself and hope not to get reraised strongly or check/reraise myself for fold equity.

However, I don't know if you're a shortstacker or not. If you are, you have to bet/push as a flush draw + overcard + backdoor double gutshot straight draw gives you 12.5 (9+3+0.5) outs against 2 opponents, which is good enough for SSS.


Thanks sonic

I was certain I wasn't getting the odds to call the flush but didn't think about back door draws or even the overcard. I am playing SSS.

Thanks for the input.


The backdoor straight draw is just a niche, that half out won't make a difference here

The thing with flush draw is that you can almost only call if you get almost correct pot odds directly or deviating just a little bit OR you know your opponents and have a reasonable good idea they'll you off OR you know they're idiots and might give a free card after the turn or bet the same amount as on the flop.

Else, it's raise or fold.
