Mmmm, I like your line.I don't hate a call on the flop, but our relative position still sucks for the turn.

Exactly how I would do it.

I smoothcall the flop with the nuts here. If we had a weak flush (ie 6h5h) we want to 3bet it to fold out hands with one medium heart, that might well call for 2 bets.

Well played no reason to do anything other than what you did.

i play it the same on the flop, hoping to god to get donkbet on the turn as happened or capped on the flop. if it's capped on the flop i raise the turn, but i think with the action as is i'll let MP continue to think he's good and just call in an attempt to keep UTG in, then raise the river. your line is fine, though.edit: i guess you lose a lot of action if the heart comes on the end. probably not worth the risk of losing a bet to try to gain one or two more from UTG somewhere.

Just call the flop, it will let keep more people in and create a bigger future street pot when bet doubles. Once you 3bet, 3 people dropped out that could contribute to the pot on the next street. Once you try to keep as many people in on the flop as possible, turn is safe to ram and jam all you can to get max value. You are giving up those couple small bets on flop to double them on turn.

I wouldn't mind the flop call to try to keep the button and sb in the game, although it's still two cold to them. You still have position on the two raisers for the turn, so you will still get your raise in there. But I think it's about the same either way.

He got 3 bets in on flop and 2 on the turn the way he played it. At these limits if they are going to call 2 cold on the flop they are more thankikely to call 3 anyways

In a shorthanded game where your playing against super aggrro players, calling might be better in this spot.In a 10 handed .25/.50 game, i think yours is the best line.

Smoothcall flop, IMO. If it was only one bet to you I'd make it two bets..but with a bet and raise......I'd just call and let others hang themselves until the turn.
