    Default Maximizing Value with flopped nut flush

    You have got to F this up pretty good to lose this hand. I am so embarrassed to show you how I played this hand that I am just going to ask you how you would play it. Oh F it, I'll post it and endure the criticism.

    BB is 29/18/2 and he is somewhat of a slow player. He will cbet, call bet, bet with a set. Or c/c, lead, c/c with a low overpair.
    SB is 29/1.5/0.7 and he is loose passive. Will call 3 streets with (TPMK)A9

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($176.95)
    SB ($169.45)
    BB ($119.45)
    UTG ($101.60)
    MP ($103.65)
    Hero ($120)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 8, A.
    2 folds, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, SB calls $3.50, BB calls $3.

    Flop: ($12) 9, J, Q (3 players)
    SB bets $3, BB calls $3, Hero calls $3.

    Turn: ($21) J (3 players)
    SB bets $3, BB calls $3, Hero raises to $6, SB calls $3, BB calls $3.
    TERRIBLE CARD FOR ME, BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE NOT RAISING.

    River: ($39) A (3 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $10, SB folds, BB raises to $38, Hero folds.

    Wow... yeah you botched this one.

    Easy easy raise on the flop. Make it like $18 to go.

    You should pretty much commit yourself on the turn.

    Value bet bigger on the river. Call.

    I'm sorry to say but wow this hand is really bad

    Maaaaybe I can see slow playing this flop.. though I agree with massimo that you should raise.

    BUT if you do slowplay,why only the min raise on the turn!? I think you still need to get it in on the turn as played, and raise it hard to like $22-25

    so what is the point of slow playing - take SB to valuetown!

    either make a real bet or fold. What is the point of a min-raise. Bet pot or shove.

    Oh, I probably call the river too.

    any other line but bet/raise/raise/raise/raise/raise seems bad.
