I would appreciate your comments on my flat call of the check raise here? would you just push all in and take your chances?

Oppo is ABC but not great from my limited notes. He checks his draws and bets his made hands.

808dafish bet $200
TightBlonde?


I am assuming I have to call off (crying call) my last $100 here into a near $400 pot for a redraw to the house. I'm beat aren't I?

I don't think you can flat call the check/raise for 50% of your chips, you're commited whatever the turn is. He might just have AJ....

[Royal Flush]

Has he got Tx spades? Combination draw, even T9s for the SF?

I'm not sure that you should be calling the flop raise. Are you hoping that maybe you'll hit your boat or that he'll stop betting and check it down? I think you've gotta fold or go all in. I prob fold but than again what do I know? I fold nut flushes on unpaired boards

[TightEnd]

his made hands can include AK and AJ though? as well as a set and K10 which I am behind too

Also i hoped by flat calling the flop check raise I might get a check from him on a danger turn card


Scare card comes...It comes the flush and straight card..... and he sets me in


So much for that plan


I should have pushed in on the flop after the check raise...by flat calling I left myself no options on the turn


I don't like the fold having put $70 in when I may be ahead. Ludicrous way to think I accept.

[Hairydude]

so did you call?? what did he have?

[TightEnd]

I called due to it being $100 into a $400 pot...misplayed on the flop by me

He showed AJ no spades. I won a nice pot, slightly fortuitously

and this story boys and girls is why Mr Brunson says A Q offsuit should be played very carefully. 

I reckon I would have folded here. someone only needs a 10 to make the straight and ofcourse any 2 spades beat you aswell. (this is after the turn)

After the flop I would either stick all my money in or fold. I wouldn't consider giving him a free card for a straight or flush draw when I've got top 2 pair, but if I'm not confortable enough with sticking my money in I would fold in a second.

He might just have AJ....
