    Default some hands with flush draws ($100NL on PP)

    1) No reads. Is there any reason to raise this turn?

    Hero ($116.85)
    MP ($92.20)
    CO ($164.82)
    Button ($176.65)
    SB ($111.80)
    BB ($98.50)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with 6, 5. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    Hero raises to $4, MP calls $4, 2 folds, SB (poster) calls $3.50, BB calls $3.

    Flop: ($16) 3, Q, 4 (4 players)

    Turn: ($40) K (2 players)

    2) Don't even know why I'm posting this but I am anyway. Should I just fold the river? Only ten hands with this guy so far, but he's played almost every hand since I got to the table.

    1) I'm leading out on the turn for 3/4 the pot and calling a push. Your check makes your hand look very weak so villian will bet with just about anything here. As played I probably check-raise all-in on the turn, you've got mad fold equity here and have a ton of outs you can hit.

    2) Obvious fold on the river, you can only really beat a bluff and the way this went down it's almost never a bluff here. Leading out on the turn is okay but to keep the pot small I might just check/call in that situation.

    3) Push and pray you hit one of your outs or everyone else folds. Other people would probably disagree with that.

    1) raising is interesting because you might fold a better draw, or bottom pair. Judgement call.

    2) call river is fine, 5:1 or something

    3) puke. sb could have anything here. mp is a donk, but still likely has set/2p/flush.
    You have somewhere between 7 and 18 outs! But I would guess 8 at the most, but at least they are all to the nuts (straight flush excepted) . Plus MP only has < current pot behind....

    Wow this is complicated. Folding can't be terrible, because your pot odds are not really there. Pushing doesn't really have any folding equity vs. MP, and only folds SB when he has a worse hand than either you or the SB.

    I think a call might be OK. You are getting ~5:1 implied odds on MP (I think you can expect to stack him if you hit), and SB might call behind with the 3rd best hand.

    If SB pushes over, it would be 70 to call in pot of 161, which you might have to fold.
    Turn sucks if you miss, SB checks and MP pushes.
