A good player in that situation will min raise with a made hand i.e. flush and flat call a big drawing hand.
A good player will do whatever he thinks will get the most out of his oppo. That often means doing exactly the opposite of what weaker players perceive as being the right thing to do.
A poor player in that situation will flat call a made hand and raise a drawing hand.
Not trying to nit pick but you flat called with a made hand on the flop. Why didn't you just shove your chips in when you knew you were ahead?
I am sure I have the best hand at this point but do not feel I have a big enough advantage to shove vs a flush draw with 2 cards to come. WHAT you say how can you not Jam here?
? Well I am only a 60/40 favourite to win the hand at this point if my read is correct. Flat calling allows me to get away from the hand on the turn if another club falls. When the blank (
) hits the turn I can now get the rest of my chips in as a big favourite.
60/40 would be plenty good enough for me to get all my chips in the middle. Long term if you're ahead and favourite you have to get as many chips in the middle as possible.
Flat calling effectively gives him a free turn card. His money's already in the pot and you're not charging him any more to get exactly what you think he wants. His raise was intended to make you fold. He's not 100% sure of his 6 so he doesn't really want any more action. By flat calling there's now that many chips in the pot that even on the blank turn he can't possibly fold.
I think that as played he probably thought that his 6's were good and that it was you who was drawing to a bigger flush. He was trying to get you off the pot but you kept fishing for that club. I bet he was in shock when he saw what you actually had.
