Hey guys,

Pokertracker rates me as Tight-Aggressive/Passive (AF 1.6), so I need to find the spots where I need to be more aggressive postflop, and this hand seemed like a good place to start.

Didn't have a lot of hands on the villain, vpip of 58.82, pfr 11.76, AF of 0.5, but only 17 hands.

Some of my thoughts are between the streets, if you see any flaws in reasoning, feel free to correct me. I love to learn.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy hand converter:

$0.1/$0.2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A:d, K:c.
3 folds, MP1 calls, Hero raises, MP3 folds, CO calls, BU folds, SB calls, 2 folds.

Standard raise preflop with AKo.

Flop: (8.00 SB) 7:c, 8:c, 5:c (3 players)
SB bets, Hero calls, CO folds.

Excellent! Flush draw, with overcards to sweeten things even more. SB donks, which suprised me a bit. No idea what he might have. Could be a flushdraw with A of clubs, straightdraw, straight, set of 8's, high PP.
Should I have raised here, even though I'm not drawing to the nuts?
If he re-raises, do I cap?

Turn: (5.00 BB) J:c (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Flush completes, the only possible hands I'm behind are straight flush and Ace high flush. SB bets again, I decide to call down as I could be behind.

River: (7.00 BB) 8:h (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

8 is not a really great card as it might give SB quads, so I just call again.

Final Pot: 9.00 BB.

Results follow (highlight to see):

Hero shows a flush, king high (Ad Kc)
SB shows a straight, nine high (9d 6d)
Hero wins with a flush, king high (Ad Kc).

Questions for this hand:
Should have I played it more aggressivly on the flop?
Is this a way behind / way ahead situation once I hit the flush on the turn?

Thanks for reading/answering. :)

Hi Tom;

No. It's 3handed and the other guy can call too what is very good for you, so it's ok to call and hope for his overcall. It'd be OK to raise flop HU, but not 3handed in this relative position to aggressor.

Definetely NOT! The chance he has straight flush is exactly 0.0483% on the turn, so it's not important and there's only 1 card in deck that beats you. He's just fish which like to donk bet any hand, so you can't give him credit here.
So, raise! If he 3bets, I'd cap immediately (those guys like to play overaggresively if you outdraw their flopped straight (eg. Q :club: 3 :club:)).

As you said, river is not good card for you, so I'd:

1. bet if he check to you
2. call if he bet river again

basically i agree with opal but i guess i wouldn´t cap the turn. close though against (almost) unknown.
flop is ok i guess. a raise wouldn´t actually be bad because you might buy some outs and isolate yourself against a (weaker) draw.
