    Default Still rusty

    Table is generally LP. I am confused basically on every street.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t1040)
    UTG (t3730)
    Hero (t1565)
    MP2 (t1570)
    CO (t1535)
    Button (t2365)
    SB (t1695)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 3, 3.
    1 fold, Hero calls t30, MP2 raises to t120, CO calls t120, 1 fold, SB calls t105, 1 fold, Hero calls t90.

    Flop: (t510) T, 3, 9 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, MP2 bets t90, CO calls t90, SB calls t90, Hero raises to t510, MP2 folds, CO folds, SB calls t420.

    Turn: (t1710) 4 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks.

    River: (t1710) J (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets t450, SB folds.

    Final Pot: t1710


    EDIT: I should add, I intend to fold to any bet if a heart comes on the river, otherwise call any bet.

    Lead the flop for 1/2 pot with 3 opps seeing the flop. If you get raised then re-raise AI.

    As played, definitely shove the turn. Don't give somebody with a single heart and some piece of the board a free card to beat you.

    I actually like your line for a loose aggressive opp. Since you say that the table is LP, however, I don't think you can check the turn profitably (neglecting a save-money-when-he-has-it argument). A shove is iffy too, as mostly you get called by someone who turned the flush. I prefer a bet like your river bet - just enough to entice action from non-flush hands that don't think you'd bet this way with the flush.

    Agree with others about post flop play. As I'm sure you're aware, whenever you're playing low PP, you are only playing for set value.

    I would just shove the turn since folding and checking are too retarded to consider against this guy.

    I might fuck around with a smaller bet in a cash game, but probably still just stick it in and get called by all sorts of crap.

    So I was playing with the assumption that he was drawing on the flop, rather than having some kind of made hand. Is this a bad assumption? If it's an ok assumption, would a turn bet ever be profitable here? The only way I saw to get any money out of a worse hand was to induce a river bet (whether a bluff or a bet with a worse hand), but I might be giving opp too much credit?
