As u can all see i was so excited abt flopping my flush that i decided to get tricky and slowplay it :f_biggrin: Now i'm not so sure if that was a good idea (not only because of the fact that i lost that hand).

flop - check/raise would be better?
turn - no checking, no free cards!
river - as played i think my call was reasonable - what do u think?

thanks for the feedback!

i like a c/r on the flop. he wont be expecting you to c/r a flopped flush and he is definitely not folding with teh Ah / Kk so you need some protection against those cards. c/c the flop isnt soo bad. but i think building a pot here is the best option so you can get it in on the turn/river by value betting again.

turn - must bet out to build a pot... no point having a 350 chip pot on the river with such a monster.

river - bet out... you slow played yourself to death in this hand. villain isnt betting river very often without the Ah or a FH. so basically c/c is the worst possible option.


I always like to donk these flops. I have the third nutz, and I am OOP. I like to build the pot and protect my hand at the same time. If they have nothing and fold, I am happy to take it down.

Definitely bet (again) on the turn. No free cards, and value while in front. A fourth heart either a) beats us or b) kills our action.

As played, the river makes your hand the second nutz. I would bet here for 200, and fold if raised. I wouldn't check/call an overbet like this.

I expect him to bet the flop when you check to him with a wide range and I don't think he folds a TP hand to c/r, so that's what I'm going for. When you bet he can fold a big part of his range that he would probably stab if you give him the opportunity. c/c is not great because you cannot build the pot and he will check the turn pretty often which sucks for you. As played I'd bet small on the river and hope he calls worse but definitively fold to his big bet, you pretty much have a bluffcatcher and that's just never a bluff.
