    Default Played this set correctly?

    I'm playing against an 85/0 here... he is quite aggressive and chases draws constantly.. so I put him on a flush draw.. is the weak bet on the river small enough for him to be able to push over thinking I'll fold if I'm weak?

    raise to 7 on the turn, half pot on the river, which is most likely the rest of your stack.

    I agree. I also raise to $3 on the flop. Gotta start early if you're gonna win stacks.

    I couldn't really pin him on the flush until the turn came and he kept his weak betting, so I didn't want to chase away worse hands with too large of a raise on the flop. I agree with turn amount.

    Do you not think though, that if he misses his flush draw, he would just check/fold the river with a busted draw?

    Wouldn't it be better to let him bluff his busted draw and have his stack because of it?

    One of my favorite things to do is let the opponenet bet his busted flush draw. It feels so damn good to call or raise his large, "I wanna push you out of the pot bet", and take most of his stack that way.

    I think you can give him worse odds on flop and turn... Id bet ½ pot on river or maybe just shove, then Ax might call you at 25nl...
