    Default Crazy hand with 52s. Flopped an open str flush draw and TP

    I have quite a loose image at the table. I'm coming towards the end of a 4-table session. I don't usually raise 52s pf, but i had the button and 2 players limped. Usually i fold in this situation, but it's a hand with potential and I thought I could take a big pot if I hit.

    I'm not completely sure how to play the flop. I've got a monster draw. If I check and miss my hand loses a lot of value and I might even have to fold. If I bet now I've got a 50-50 against nearly any hand and I have a chance to take the hand down here.

    raisy_daisy calls. He seems to be quite a decent player and has been quite aggressive with me. But he knows that if he checks that there is a good chance I bet (or someone bets behind him). When he calls. I put him on 2 pair, a mid over pair (88/99), possibly a draw. I don't think he had a set because I think he would have checkraised a set (80% sure he doesn't have a set). He might have a straight, but he might even raise with that, because of the possible flush draw. He possibly has the nut straight. He doesn't have a big pair because he would have raised pf.
    When foo_42 raises I put most of his range on a set or a straight (way over 50% of his range). The rest of his range is big pairs and 2pair, but very unlikely IMO.

    Should I call the raise or move allin? If I call I increase my PO. But I let him in the hand and he could potentially bust me. And if he has a flush draw I want him to fold. I decided to call because of the extra PO I would be getting. If the board pairs on the turn I have the chance to get away from the hand too.

    raisy_daisy also calls. I miss on the turn. foo_42 goes allin. I'm 90% sure he has a set. I move allin, because I have such good Pot Odds.
    I think the turn play is standard. I didn't think raisy_daisy had a flush draw altough it was possible.


    What do you think of the hand? Badly played? Take the free card on the flop?

    The main point of discussion here is the flop play (and if I had played the flop differently - how I would have played the turn and the river).

    With your OESFD, I'd push over the flop c/r.

    BTW, you should just cut off the results rather than putting them in white.

    although foo definitely looks like he has a set, you definitely have to push over because you want raisydaisy to fold if he has a flush draw or straight draw.

    yea just push this flop your hand is sooooo strong on flop and becomes weaker as the hand goes on
