    Default Open Ended Straight Flush Draw - Too Expensive?

    No reads on the villain but we have to figure he has 2x and/or the FH.



    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (7 handed)

    MP2 ($47.30)
    CO ($60.75)
    Button ($100.45)
    SB ($138.60)
    Hero ($110.85)
    UTG ($178.05)
    MP1 ($58.50)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
    1 fold, MP1 calls $1, 3 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($3) , , (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $2, MP1 raises to $4, SB calls $4, Hero raises to $16, MP1 folds, SB calls $12.

    Turn: ($39) (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $25, SB raises to $121.6

    Hero......???
    $157.85 in the pot, $68.85 (all in) for me to call.



    Results in white below:
    Hero calls $68.85 (All-In)
    River is the 7d.
    SB has As 2s (three of a kind, twos).
    Hero has 4d 3d (flush, seven high).
    Outcome: Hero wins $226.70. SB wins $27.75.

    In hindsight I should have bet the pot on the turn. That way when the villain pushes all in, it would have been an easier call.

    I like the flop play and the bet on the turn but I'm tending towards folding here, close one though. He's either got the 2 or the fh. Drawing dead if he has the fh and if it's 2x one of your flush outs is gone. At best you need 2.3/1 odds and that's pretty much exactly what the pot odds are. I think the implied threat of drawing dead makes me fold it.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
