you don't wait for the check raise(because of flush draw bet) or wait for 4th street brick to hit?

Make em pay. Make em pay. Make em pay.ps. You call this hand UTG often? It's dangerous.

I have been trying to work on my hand selection - and you will see why. I think it's working so far, playing much more solid, but I got in trouble here.I potted it, got one caller. Turn came 7d - made flush possibility. Is it a check/autofold here? I guess why I am wondering is - can I assume that he either has top set or nut flush draw(50/50)? Or is flush draw more likely. I know both are possible too - top set with nut flush draw(or weaker flush draw).

yeah, fold preflop OOP.anyway, now that you're in this mess, flop pot is standard, unless you've got a nutjob who will always, and i mean always, pot it from late position. as for the turn, without any prior reads, i'd say set/flush draw are about equally likely, with the flush slightly more so. i'd put out a bet of about 1/2 pot (check/fold multiway, but this is heads up) and see what happens. just keep in mind that if the villain shows strength back at you, there's a good chance you're drawing dead.

I guess I figured it was about 50/50 - since there was 7$ in the pot and the villian had 7 left I potted it - he of course called with the nut flush. I didn't see any value from betting half the pot here - am I wrong. Can I conclude that a $3.50 bet into a 7 dollar pot EITHER takes it down there or gets re-raised and I MUST lay it down - saving myself 3.50? I guess it is the same as a pot bet there, I only get called when I am beat(unless he had a worse straight, because my straight got bigger). So is 1/2 pot the way to go here? I guess it might be. Is it an autofold though if I get rerased (5:1 odds)?

ah, i never pay attention to stack sizes in these things. i should probably start, eh? :-) your stacks are probably the worst possible size for making this a tough decision. but yeah, mostly, 1/2 pot might be unreasonable here. ick. in that situation, i'm probably leaning toward check/fold, actually, since the money's going in on his end, anyway.say 40% of the time he's got a set, which beats us 20% of the time.60% of the time he's got a flush, which ALWAYS beats us.(though of course, he could be a total donk, but only you'd know that after playing with him)so we've got 32% to win, which ain't quite 2:1. sorry, kiddo, i think this is a check/fold. obviously, though, this depends on your read assessments, and by my general guess, it's quite close. maybe this is a push. maybe not. it really is your call.
