    Default Anyone play this different?

    Villain was pretty bad, flopped a flush with 83 in a 3bet pot vs my KKh so he doubled up. Is this fairly standard, any better line?

    Button ($210.70)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with J, K.
    Button calls $0.50, Hero raises to $4, Button calls $3.

    Flop: ($8) 4, K, 3 (2 players)
    Hero bets $5, Button raises to $20, Hero calls $15.

    Turn: ($48) J (2 players)

    Hero checks, Button bets $50, Hero raises to $164

    Unless you've only played a few hands you should have a lot more reads than you do. What kind of hands he limps would be important, what hands he stacks off with, etc.

    Did he raise/call a threebet in the 83hh hand? Or did he limp call? What raise size did he use when he flopped a flush?

    I probably just call the river bet, looks a lot like 33-44. Probably fold the flop to depending on Opp.

    Muzz could you tell me who you are on PS, you can PM me, I wonder if we've played each other, I doubt it though cuz I rarely play the regs.

    It's not a cooler, or bad beat story or anything. I'm just looking for opinions on each street played. Just coz I posted the hand doesn't mean I lost!

    In the flush hand he raised/call the 3-bet, flat called the flop and I pushed the turn- he called obv.

    He shouldn't be raising that flop w/o a better hand really, as nitty as that sounds, it's a shitty board for him to play back at you on with your range/image.

    I mean, I hate raising the turn, it folds out everything we beat, forces him to take a better/stronger range to the river.

    The flop raise is so big it puts a hand like 56 in his range, but otherwise it looks awfully like a small pp. I go into call down mode, I'm not expecting to beat any part of his calling range if we raise the turn/river.

    Then given my image...depening whether I think he 'is a thinking player'. I could fold flop. H emust have a set or some crazy 2p or perhaps KQ or a slow AK.

    If he's a spew monkey then calling flop and turn ok?
    Raise river for value as I think he then calls with worse hands when he's pretty much committed to the pot. Its like 90ish for him to call into a 320 pot or similar

    hmmmm if he called the flop in the flopped flush hand im much more inclined to play for stacks/take the line you took.
