Hey guys,

I can stop wondering what would be the best play here against a better player?

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.02/$0.05 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]SB$15.23:///////;BB (Hero)$5.00:///////;UTG1$1.84:///////;UTG2$5.44:///////;MP1$4.66:///////;MP2$2.00:///////;MP3$4.04:///////;CO$6.94:///////;BU$6.50:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q:d, 4:d.
UTG1 folds, UTG2 calls $0.05, 5 folds, SB calls $0.03, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.15) A:d, 3:d, 9:d (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.11, UTG2 raises to $0.22, SB folds, Hero raises to $0.90, UTG2 raises to $1.58, Hero raises to $5.06, UTG2 calls $3.37.

Turn: ($10.05) K:h (2 players)

River: ($10.05) 7:d (2 players)

Final Pot: $10.05.
Results follow:

Hero shows a flush, ace high(Q:d 4:d).
UTG2 shows a pair of aces(A:c J:s).

Hero wins with a flush, ace high(Q:d 4:d).

UTG2 stats:18/0/2.5/58 hands

Hello Sikac,

Your play should be the best. :) No way I am going to call or anything here, we want to play for the stacks and protect our hand. He definitely has a lot of worse hands in his range which is going broke. Especially according his stack wouldn't wonder if we see even Ax here.

Best Regards.

I just wanted to know how to approach against better opponents. I mean I m showing so much strength that it can only be a flush. So against better opponents I was wondering should I disguise my hand a little bit?

Can you tell me why his stack size of 109bb means he has Ax here?

"Better opponents" wont be openlimping here, thus have a much stronger holding themselfs, and the whole situation would just be different.

You are right but what if I call there just for the given nice odds lets say and my donk bet gets raised should I call or 3bet against a good player. I was pointing more on such situation.

Well, I kind of messed up with UTG1. But practically the same as vonki said, there ain't gonna be good players who open-limp like that.

Well, better opponents most likely wouldn't limp and if he even has he may easily have set there which we still beat and need to protect.
