Hello,

I would like to ask for your advice. Would you say that this is a standart bad beat situation or would you say I should not be to confident with K high flushes in the future? :f_rolleyes:

Thank you for your time.

As played, taking aggressive line otf and then hitting your hand, I think playing for stacks is ok (not much FH's in his range, worse flushes, trips, OP's are) . You should bet turn bigger though, so you can shove the river without overbetting the pot.

I think that our hand is not strong enough for value check/raising the flop (especially on paired board) and is too strong for bluff check/raising. So, I would rather check/call the flop. If he folds alot to flop raises, then it's fine to raise, but if we don't have that read, I would rather check/call.

Check/calling on the flop seems a better line here, but it's ok to raise to. Pay attention to your sizing on the turn, you have to set up for a river value shove. I think it's okay to stack off K high flush, especially at NL2.

I agree with Allen's logic, that's a better way to play the hand.

However, as played, bet more on the turn (around $0.55) and shove the river.

We should x/call flop. Board is paired and we do not draw to nuts.
