    Default Sticky (edit : Standard) Spot

    I was sweating a fellow FTR member today and encountered the following spot with no great reads besides HUD stats over a medium sample (something like 80-90 hands).

    100bb's deep, villain was 24/10/2 and limp-called from MP to our punish from CO with

    flop came

    we c bet and villain CR 3x our c-bet

    I immediately felt like shoving was the best play.

    after talking to some people, I'm doubting this. My reasoning was that he can only have 1 boat (KT), we have decent suckout equity vs Tx and we are crushing other diamond combos like QJ, J9, Q9.

    the people I talked to just emphasized that this line is Tx sooooooo much of the time it's better to just call and see a turn.

    I'm still not sold on flatting the flop CR so does anyone feel like adding to the discussion?
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Yeah, i agree with these people think that flatting is best. The awesome part is that you're in position, so he's going to have to throw some money away at you (if not his entire stack) if the flush hits.

    And honestly i don't know what this guy has that c/r the flop and bets the turn besides Tx (and i think a big part of his c/r range is trips, the other hands are draws that we are beating).

    flat it. Use your position.

    so it s more important to control the pot in position vs the threat if his trips than to get it ai right now crushing his weaker draw (which will be tougher when we both blank)?
