Villain 27/18 (22 hands)

Pre: Standard

OTF: I get 22% odds, so I have to call with the nut FD + GS. Or do you get it in there?

OTT: I still have good enough odds to call IMO with my draw (28% pot odds + implied odds). TP not worth that much here I guess. Again, shove turn better, because I am committed OTR, right?

OTR: 14% pot odds. Can I fold TP here?

I would most likely Cbet a little bit more like half pot. If he/she will raise you have a decent stack off with the outs you have for the straight and flush. Turn you are basicly committed if you call and I doubt he/she will have to many weaker hands in his range and I would just stack off. River is indeed a pot odds call. Not a happy call with in mind you beat only Kx and you split against Ax.

Cheers,

You could cbet larger but i think 1/3p is ok and i would just shove vs the raise given our equity with the combo draw.You could do some calling in a single raised pot or deeper. But in a 3bet pot 110bb effective the spr is such that calling the raise is less appealing imo.

For me, these spots are so rare - due to my low volume of playing - that I do not feel prepared to make these decisions with the limited time that is given.
Once I figured out the pot odds and equity, considering a call, I didn't have time left to evaluate a shove.
These decisions are easy I guess, with growing experience.

My way of working on these spots would be to take one of the worst case scenarios so lets say villain has a set on the flop 66 QQ KK, AhJh has 33% equity.So now we know a combo draw like a flush draw with gutshot has 33% equity in the worse case scenario so were never really in terrible shape.Then just add in some AK KQ and draws for villain and account for some fold equity and you can see it's never really a mistake to play combo draws aggressively.So working on this one hand basically solves a multitude of combo draw scenarios as your equity is always about the same worst case scenario.

Shove flop imho: he hadn't QQ-KK and you had combodraw, but you could have also set or two pair here. Oppo's range is capped yours not.
