    I'd raise flop, try to get it all in there.

    You played it pretty fine though.

    I'd raise the flop, you have loads of equity against his range and theres a good chance u take it right there. If you get called I'd likely take a free river if I don't improve.

    Rest of the hand is played fine, I might raise a little more on the river though.

    i raise flop, too. but, i want to bloat a pot on the flop here to make more when my draws come in. i likely 1/2 pot that turned 6, as well. i will 2 barrel paired cards with semi bluffs. villain is likely blocking his own draw here. i mean $.20 into $1.10? c'mon.

    but, apparently, we still bet too much on river. i know what jimmy is saying about betting more because if your $.85 gets called, they will call $1.50, too. its just that here they werent calling squat.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Is it because of the guy behind me or should i be raising here if im last to act too.

    You raise the flop because you might just take it down right there and you also do it to disguise your hand a little so you get paid off better. I would call a push on the "flop" at these limits.

    You don't just have a flush draw on this board when you raise the flop and get it all in.

    Not following. What do i have if not just a flush draw???
    I have to think if one of them pushes that an Ace or Queen is no good right??
    If someone pushes here they can't just have one pair. Can they??

    EDIT: are you saying that they would have bet larger to protect their hand from a draw if they had a set???

    SB is a halfstack. At microstakes anyway halfstacks are usually quite willing to go broke with TPGK.

    Unless you've got a read on SB as being tight, I wouldn't put QT/KT/AT out of his range if he played the flop harder, so you very well might have 3 to 6 more outs on the flop.

    I'd go allin with SB here on the flop.

    its an "equity" thing. you raise because you have a shitton of equity in the hand, and profit more with every penny that goes in....on the flop.

    oh, and villains may fold, as you are repping a very strong hand/draw.

    Overs yes, back door draws count as well towards equity and even with nothing you can't call that weak ass bet on the flop, you just gave every hand in the book odds to draw to get better as well considering you may already be ahead in the hand.
