    Default flopped top pair+nut FD

    -villain is 18/11/2
    -no other reads on villain, pretty new to the table and dont have many hands on him
    -I feel like I didn't play this hand too well. Is a flop lead into the PF raiser with so many other players to act, too much of a sign of strength? I was hoping he would raise, so that I could push.
    -is a turn lead the best play here? check call?

    I check/call the turn and reevaluate river if we don't two pair or flush up.

    Your place or my place
    I've been c/r'ng this flop pretty hard and pushing most turns. Thoughts on that line, gabe?
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

    I've been struggling with these kind of draws lately. I would be much more comfortable getting it all in here on the flop with two cards to come.

    Once I'm called on the flop, I'm pretty certain I'm beat by a better ace. Do I really have much fold equity here, on the turn, after villain has bet $25? Do I really want to be pushing with no fold equity?

    i think there's a few equally good ways to play this, and this is one of them.
