edit: just realised i placed this in the wrong place.

You had the best hand and the chance to make the flush is less than 1/3. Therefore, you want everyone to go all-in with you! You probably raised a little too much ($240). The BB should have smelled danger and just called, and not attempted to scare you off with a big re-raise.

And the UTG guy is a typical flush draw caller. They are everywhere and they will be your major sponsor.

Remember these guys' name and play with him more. You will empty his pocket in the future.

even thought u r on the small blind, im still folding this noise.
as played, very standard, he just caught his heart....life goes on.

i really don't see why your kicking yourself for playing that way, its was the right play you had the best of it. hoe can you fold the nuts straight for two all ins even if they are on a flush draw.

You are playing in a 6-man SnG with 1 busted out and another very short stack. This is a DEFINITE fold PF. The rest is standard.

LOL, no you shouldn't be folding the nuts.

I'd fold pf though.

Bet sizing was fine, you could raise a little less I suppose, but a pot bet is ok as long as you do the same with bluffs etc.

The opponents played it fine as well imo, guy calling with nut flush and 2 overs into a 3 way pot is perfectly standard.

Not aware of this. Interesting.

I'll pretty much keep my betsizing the same regardless of my hand (apart from certain situations with block bets or against certain opponents where a small value bet is called for etc.).


ie. If you're going to cbet 2/3 pot with AJ when you completely miss, you should also bet 2/3 pot when you hit the nuts. In the OP hand, while a pot raise is a tad excessive, it's always worth keeping your bluffs to the same bet size so your opponents can't get any info on you.

I guarantee no regulars at UB 50nl can pick up on tells from my betsizing, cos I will do the same with a monster or air.
