I think I have a monster draw, right? What exactly was I supposed to do, since I didnt' raise preflop? Very confused about these situations.

FD + 2 OCs, I think you can play as a monster draw and with monsterdraw you want to put your money in the pot as soon as possible, so I would just check/push flop since UTG has even lesser stack than you do.

As played, you get very good odds on the turn to call, so I would call and continue on the river improved. I don't think there's much value in pushing to a turn raise with only 1 card left to be dealt.

hello williamtywong,

With a monster draw I take iniative by betting out potsized on the Flop. this way you can maximize your EV

ofcourse on the Turn you make a second barrel and if applicable the shove.

As played, the ideal line is taking iniative but letting the opponents in position bet out to steal the pot thus you check/raise on the Flop isn't bad but will result in less EV

Best regards,
Gerv

Thanks Gerv,

What if he acted first and bet out on the flop, do I push at that point?
