I found this a pretty interesting hand, I flopped a straight, with a flush draw. I went to bet for value, but tbh this board was so werid I wasn't sure how to play it. I decided to play C/C on the turn for fear of getting shoved on. Did I underestimate my equity here? Should I have bet the turn? The player was 36/14/17 over 40 hands. After the turn I have figured he gave up so I bet half pot hoping to get called my worse FDs

Hi Chowchow12,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Given that we just called the flop I would let him bet turn and play it as you did. However, I don't see a reason to why we can't 3-bet the flop for value versus a potential fish.
