    Default How Would You Play A Monster Draw Like This?

    How would you guys typically play a flop like this? No reads on the Villain.


    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($32.50)
    MP ($130.60)
    CO ($74.90)
    Hero ($142.85)
    SB ($136.05)
    BB ($100)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 6, 8. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    1 fold, MP raises to $4, CO calls $4, Hero calls $4, SB (poster) calls $3.50, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($17) 7, Q, 5 (4 players)
    SB checks, MP bets $15, CO folds, Hero...

    I'd raise and hope to get it all in on the flop.

    If villain calls your flop raise I'd check the turn behind if checked to (when you miss) and take a trip to value-town when you hit.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    Yeah, I play it the same making it 45-50 on the flop.

    Check behind if checked to on the flop if you miss.

    I'd be tempted to push or overbet the river if the FD missed but you hit the straight.

    I figured people would play it that way. I was just wondering if people had any other views. Here is how it turned out:

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($32.50)
    MP ($130.60)
    CO ($74.90)
    Hero ($142.85)
    SB ($136.05)
    BB ($100)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 6, 8. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    1 fold, MP raises to $4, CO calls $4, Hero calls $4, SB (poster) calls $3.50, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($17) 7, Q, 5 (4 players)
    SB checks, MP bets $15, CO folds, Hero raises to $45, SB folds, MP calls $130.60 (All-In), Hero calls $81.60.

    Turn: ($289.20) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($289.20) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $289.20

    MP has Kc Qd (full house, fives full of queens).
    Hero has 6c 8c (flush, queen high).
    Outcome: MP wins $270.20. Hero wins $19.

    I think raising and calling are so close EV wise it doesn't really matter. Sauce.

    but raising helps metagame, like playing 2pr+ the same, getting a bad image...even if it doesn't matter much for the one hand.
