[Closed] Straight on freeplay

i would have bet on turn

Tough to lay down a straight there.... flush is obvious, but anyone could get caught there.

I agree that you should've bet the turn.... always a good play to bet your draws to see where you stand.

I don't agree.

When there is a possibility for a flush draw on flop, even if you bet on turn you will get called by the opp. drawing for flush. You are playing a FR from BB, so IMO unless you are sure you got the nuts, don't pay anything else.

The 2nd mistake was on river. Hero bets, villain raised and there is a possible flush on board - I would fold the hand. It didn't cost me anything anyhow except the mandatory BB.

And btw - I think it is better not to post the results when you post hands.

In other words: Unraised pot, no position, no fold equity against draws.
-> we play it passively, meaning check/ call or fold (odds).

There is no such thing as a "cost" of a hand. There are odds and pot odds. Here we need to win in 36% of the time, so approx. 1 out of 3 times. I think we will) On this limit his range is a bit wider then normal logic suggests) I would say 1 out of 3 times you will see slowplayed sets, small aces or even KJ. Myself, I demand very obvious reads to fold made s8 in this spot.
