    Default 50NL - donk played TP + flush draw

    Easy fold at the end, villain is aggressive and solid player. Any thoughts besides "fold pf"?

    swiggidy,

    Preflop is OK. I dont see any reason to checkraise this flop, just check/call. As played check turn, and as further played fold to his turn reraise.

    your draw is pretty strong but becomes kind of sucky on the turn... it doesn t really matter how u play this hand. playing it slow will decrease the likelyhood of getting paid off

    playing it fast you ll prob be flipping as slight underdog or win a small pot. meh. No sense betting the turn though since your hand wants to see a river imo.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    I've had that problem with big but vulnerable flop hands, and it's a difficult compromise, whether to raise the flop and build a pot, (which means villain can shut me down on the turn, like the Villain in this thread does), or to check-call, making the pot fairly small and making our hand more obvious.

    This is a good example of why hands like this aren't very playable unless you have position. When you're in position you can usually set your price on seeing the turn and the river, instead of getting blown off your draw the way you were. I would call a raise here if I were on the button, but fold it from the blinds.
