Hi,
Always find it hard to know how to best play straight flush draws, with 3 of your suit on the flop. Unusual situation, I know, but it has come up several times in big tournaments for me. Here is the hand in question
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuOu6PbONmc&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL What I knew about freezer01 was very significant in how this hand was played. We were 4 hands into the tournament. Freezer01 had played EVERY hand. Hand 1 he raised to 70, bet pot on flop, bet turn then folded river, flop was 10,8,5 rainbow. Hand 2 he called BB flop 7,8,2 he called 40, turn J checked, river 10 he bet 160 was called and showed 9,5o for a loss. Hand 3 he called pre and folded on a 4,6,A flop. Basically a very bad player
Questions:
1) I limped pre because I like to do that with medium Aces heads up against weak opponents- this is because I figure I can play better after the flop, avoid losing lots of chips to bigger aces and win often when he bluffs. Is this correct?
2) I made a large bet on the turn because I figured he had a weak hand that was currently ahead of mine, so I wanted to take the pot down but I knew I had outs. If he shoved I was planning to fold. I really felt like he could have almost any two given his playing history
3) The shove on the turn did not feel like a bluff, I was expecting a call with top pair or other hands I am beating, against because of his history.
?
Thanks
Will
