I would've raised it to $2.50 on the turn. This is a blocking bet that screams flush draw. Instead of the purpose being for a cheap showdown, this is for a cheap river, so you have to raise. Tripling his bet still comes to an adequate size. He's drawing to 7 outs 'cause the

He may have a flush draw but his pf then flop action suggests Ax. I think your bets pf; flop and turn strongly suggest a set since you didn't raise pf and are not afraid of a pf raiser leading out with an Ace on board!

How would you have played the hand if you figured BB had Ax and not a flush draw? Also you're only slightly less to make a FH as he is to make a flush so you were not without odds to improve.

imo u didnt play this hand aggressive enough.

FLOP - you have a big hand, so u want to play a big pot. Raise it HARD here. Flop im raising to about $1.60-$2.00 range. If anyone has 2pair here or any other big hand, or if villian is a donk that can't lay down TPGK. Then you want his money in now before any cards come down to potentially cancel out ur action. If villian is betting a FD here, then ur raise of $1.2 is giving villian good implied odds here to chase that draw and bust ur set. All villian needs is to be able to get a potsize bet out of you on the turn for it to be a +ev play for him to call ur raise with the FD.

I wasn't really thinking of the flop when I replied for some odd reason.

Eclipse's angle is spot on here. He's calling anything on his FD. An overbet would be beautiful here with a push on the turn.
