I think I prefer a flat call on the turn as well. You have the flush draw as backup to beat a split.If you're raising the turn, I think a smaller bet works best.

Doesn't a smaller bet get called by two flush draws and a set maybe? I tried to win the pot right there because there were very few river cards that i d love to see.

If SB has AJ (which is relatively likely IMO), you've cost yourself $15.65 when you could have got to the river for $2.6.

Obviously. But the thing is do we want both SB and BB to get to river for $2.6?

Think of it this way. If we make a pot sized raise now we lose $15 when someone repops us and we fold, or they fold hands that are behind ours (minus huge draws like set+Fd, which may also repop..)If we call on the turn and call any pot sized bet on the river, we lose the same $15 but have a chance to win in showdown.

That actually makes sense.

First off with no reads against a low stakes player on Full Tilt, I'm going to assume they're a little on the weak-passive side. That means we should absolutely pot the flop with a chance to take the pot down and a lot of cards that could win the pot for us if we're called.On the turn, I could go either way. On the one hand, a flat-call makes sense since we don't want to get raised off of our club draw, but on the other hand, this doesn't look like the nuts much at all and we should make our opponents pay if we're ahead. I really don't think it makes much difference either way. If you really think your opponent's weak enough to half-pot the nuts on a board with two flush draws though, you should definitely be betting the flop.

Not sure how I missed that actually. Yeah, flop is a definite pot.
