    Default got in a mess with a flopped combo draw

    This guy made some odd plays. Overall very loose and passive pre flop, and seemed to stay out of big pots without very good hands.
    Like earlier he check/called the turn and river when he made the nut flush on the turn and typed in the chat he was worried someone had a boat cuz the board was paired.
    Before that he called a pfr, led full pot with 33 and no set on a low flop, and called a raise, then check/raised all in when he turned a set.

    I have a solid tag image.

    this is 6 handed 100nl, and effective stacks are $100

    pre flop,
    Villain raises to $3.5, I call with T J, SB calls and 3 others fold.

    Flop ($11.5, 3way) Q T 3
    SB checks, Villain bets $5, I raise to $18, SB folds, VIllain RERAISES to $35, I shove about $60 more

    I raised to $18 mainly thinking his bet looked weak, and also that I have a big draw. Kinda got screwed with his reraise...but then I just said fuck it, I have equity vs AA-AQ.

    anyway, I was pretty unsure about all this. seems now like simply calling the $5 might've been a better play even though it looks weak. how would you play the flop?

    With position I like to minraise in this situation. Helps you commit less of your stack in case of three bet like in. your case. I also like free cards.

    Really not sure what to do in ur case. I'd say it's definately push or fold. In heat of moment I'd probably push.

    I thought he might fold if I raised more than min, but can see what you're saying.
    The other thing is I'm not sure if a min raise looks too much like a draw instead of a good hand, if that matters.

    Depends on how long you've been playing at table and if you're op knows how you play. I like it for pot control if you think op may be weak.

    Flop raise is good. As played, you have to push. Pot is too big and your hand is too strong to consider folding now. You also might have a bit of FE too against this guy.
