$20 NL. Not sure what the play is here.

First of all, apologies for the Hand History... All the converters either say "not recognized" or just convert it into nonsense. It's a prima skin.

Not played with the guy long enough to get a proper read but he seems the fairly standard 35%+ VP$IP loose passive type.

TheCaseAce ???

--- I have turned the nut flush draw and the wheel. Bennyi looks like he likes his hand. Are you happy to play back? What's your line here?

Do you bet your made hands for half pot too? Otherwise I don't like this cbet. I'd also bet the turn harder. But seeing how he raised you, he has a made hand, so if you push you WILL get called, so it's basically going on your 12 outs or 25% to win or something. Not even all of them might be good, if he has a made straight for example. There's also a low chance of this being a semi-bluff of sorts on his part, so the Ace might be an out too. I lay this down most of the time.

very tough spot
how loose is he preflop/on the flop vs a CBET?

Instacall. You have the same hand as him, but you have redraws. Even if he has the higher straight, you have 9 cards to the better hand.

Yeah, I call this, putting him on an A, but not crying too hard if he has the 6.

Good thinking, IMO. Wish I had taken the 20 or so secs to think it through like this.

By the way, heads-up, the flop bet is standard whether I have an OESD, top pair, AK unimproved, or a flopped boat. Opp's range here is practically anything. Q90 is entirely possible. I have position, opp call/checked. I try to win it here.

I pushed the turn. Opp flipped A6 (no hearts)
B.u.s.t.e.d.

Results-based, that looks like a dire play... I'm not su sure it's avoidable though. I read him for an ace and though i was 25% ish winning the pot and 75% ish splitting it. Didn't really take the 6 into account.

I think a call is better here actually. Opp might check river and I would have checked behind. If he pushes then you get another chance to think about it.

Yea? Nay?

I don't feel to bad about it but I am still a bit worried that I get stacked pretty often in that spot.

i still like a push...99% of the time he is just going to have the ace and you can suck out sometimes w/ your FD.
