Very scary hand

[dsaxton]

I'm not completely satisfied with how I played this hand, but at the same time I'm not sure whether there was a better way to've played it. My all-in on the turn looks a little reckless, but by that point the pot already had approximately $150 invested in it, and I didn't think either opponent could sensibly be put on a flush or straight given the size of my raise on the flop. I believe the likeliest hands were two pair or a set, in which case they could not have had the flush or the straight.

Anyways, this hand was scary. I nearly pissed my pants when the fourth club came.

The only thing I'd like to say is make the flop raise just a little bit stronger to 55. When it's 35 to call (roughly the size of the pot). Blackhole could barely sneak in with a flush draw based on the huge implied odds you're presenting.

Perhaps, though I don't really think that there are much in the way of implied odds when it comes to flush draws. This situation being a rare exception, you can generally assume most players will become timid and not put many more chips into a pot without a flush or better when a third flush card appears on the board.
