45man final table line check

[GreekStein]

i sometimes check the turn just to let him bluff off his stack and hope he doesnt hit his draw, if he has one that is

Really amafish? I'm betting turn around 134% of the time.

Ppl have said pretty much the right stuff. Bet more on flop

Yep, i do this alot actually in these 45 man games and 9/10 they blast and do not necessarily have a draw but are drawing dead/near dead.

id probably make the raise bigger pre

2.5x is pretty standard at this stage, no? I sometimes raise less than this...

2.5 is perfect IMO

I agree that a larger bet on the flop is better i usual situations but i like the way you played this hand!

My thinking:

1. Pre - You are getting reraised pre if he has Kk 10 10 or 8 8.
2. Flop - You u are ahead just now,  small bet on the flop in unpassable to a drawing hand or one with a K or 10 in it.
3. Turn - no club, no completed srtaight, you still have the best hand, = all in, you are happy with the pot. Its massive. If he calls and hits then UL but looking at it you are 88%-12% over a flush draw and in the same region to an open ended straight draw.

I see nothing wrong with the way its been played. Diff story if the straight or flush landed on turn

so you liked the flop play because the turn bricked but wouldn't have liked it if a draw completed? I can see problems with this

Yeah, i can see problems with this hand everyway that it is played. I reckon that Villan would have called even a pot sized bet on the flop chasing the flush. Keeping the bet low means he'll lose less if th eflush comes. If the miracle K or 10 comes then continue the low betting. But when its the 2, he aint going to chase with 1 card.  sooo get it all in while ahead.

I dont think that theres a perfect way to play this hand

Your fold top 2 if the board comes with a low card completing the flush possibility with roughly the pot back?

Betting more on the flop is miles better than betting 1/2 pot, the flush card comes 1 in 4 times, basic maths will tell you that you gain more than you lose by betting more on the flop.
