    Default 50NL - flush draw vs likely pp

    UTG used the open limp/min-raise with AA earlier. I put him on a high pocket pair here, JJ-QQ, maybe TT. He donk bet flops a lot. He's 33/10.

    CO I'm not concerned with, he's short, and not very good.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($53.25)
    SB ($35.55)
    BB ($46.50)
    UTG ($48.45)
    MP ($76.65)
    CO ($27)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, K.
    UTG raises to $1, 1 fold, CO raises to $1.5, Hero raises to $5, 2 folds, UTG calls $4, CO calls $3.50.

    Flop: ($15.75) 3, Q, 9 (3 players)
    UTG bets $5, CO calls $5, Hero calls $5.

    Turn: ($30.75) K (3 players)
    UTG bets $10, CO calls $10, Hero ???

    PF raise is for value and isolation, should have been to $6.
    I have the odds to chase the flush on the flop, so good?
    With dead money (CO) do you push here, or continue to chase with odds?

    I might have raised on the flop. It's quite a weak lead from UTG ($5 into $15 pot), but if your read is right, this might have to be taken cautiously. The call from the CO tells me he is maybe not too sure of his hand - he certainly doesn't like it enough to raise himself; however, again, if your read is right then he could be stronger than you think but is just not very good.

    I'm definitely getting it in on the turn. You still have quite a lot of outs even if you are behind plus I think you are increasing the likelihood that you win the pot here (not such a bad thing) rather than at the river where the rest will probably go in.

    I probably raise that flop, as played Im definitely pushing the turn. We may be good anyways so the flush draw just makes it an even stronger hand.
