    Default 10NL flopped straight on monotone board

    I gotta go for it here right? Villain is completing from the small blind and is 63-20 over a few hands. I figure two pair or even top pair is just as likely (more likely?) as a flopped flush

    Prima Network No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed)

    Hero ($12.06)
    UTG ($27.94)
    MP ($6.25)
    CO ($1.02)
    Button ($7.04)
    SB ($15.06)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[], 8[].
    4 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($0.20) 7[], 9[], 5[] (2 players)
    SB bets $0.35, Hero raises to $1.25, SB calls $0.90.

    Turn: ($2.70) K[] (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $2.7, SB raises to $5.4, Hero raises to $10.81 (All-In), SB calls $5.41.

    Final Pot: $24.32

    Since you got raised on the turn you are likely drawing dead. However, villain's stats are donkish so I'd be more inclined to just shove the turn knowing that he doesn't think you have the flush either. If he has it, then reload and go after his stack...

    getting my swell on
    i would play it pretty much the exact same way. i've been playing a lot of 10NL lately, and he most likely is holding a high heart. Probably the King of hearts, because he did min raise on it.

    he's not drawing dead.. he can spike the 8 of hearts

    Also, based on villain's larger than pot sized bet on flop I'd be more inclined to think he didn't flop a flush... but maybe I'm reading too much into the bet size.

    I stack here too, and I'd be pretty confident to be up against a high pair with a high heart.

    yep, but I didn't need to. No idea what villain had (mucked hands aren't captured on prima) but the stack tasted good. Villain seems to be a reg, so I'm off to go find their tables now...
