    Well, I was goign for a free-card play on the flop, and on the turn, it was a semi-bluff since I all of a sudden had a LOF of outs to half the pot.

    I don't play limit but what is the problem in this hand? you wanted to get more caller?

    If so, call the flop, raise the turn I guess.

    just call the flop to rope in other players. you only have a draw with runner runner low possibilities.

    the turn definetly start firing. you would have made more letting 1 or 2 other players see the turn pick up a low draw and have to call 2+ bets cold to chase it and also let them think weaker flushes might be good.

    I didn't look at the results, but you need to stop doing this, Marm. Just a request because you've posted some great hands lately.

    I'd like to see a call on the turn. Yeah, if the heart hits, he might check/call, but he might also put you on a worse hand or a bluff and bet/raise, not to mention, he's gotta have a good lo draw.

    This is the type of hand & flop where I can never decide if I should bet or call, but I usually end up betting. There are already 5 BB in the pot pre-flop, you're drawing to a nut flush and if you bet the flop it's also a good way to drive out any potential low hands, middle pairs, or bad draws behind you. If my math is right you have a 62% chance of a low card on the turn and 54% chance of another qualifying low card on the river or a 33.5% chance for the low (note: this is lower if the turn is an A,2, or 3). I'd rather try to drive out other hands to improve my chances than try to keep more people in and end up splitting the low even when I hit the flush.

    If your raise on the flop drove out an A2 who had no other draws it was textbook.
