Hero flops TP on flush board and faces tough decision $6.50

[Nakamura]

Opp here isn't horribly loose but is a calling station. Stats are 22/2. I saw him earlier limp with 77 and then call off 1/3 of his stack with 1 AI and 2 other limpers (also calling off 1/3 of their stacks) already in the pot

I reckon this is push pre-flop, but as played what is Hero's line on the turn here? Opps bet looks suspicious and he is perfectly capable of bluffing scare cards. We are also getting reasonable odds on the call (almost 3:1).

Something is weird with the stack sizes, they don't add up to 13,500. I suspect one of the players was sitting out?

With antes I probably just shove this preflop, as played I think your line is fine and now I call the turn shove although I'm not delighted about it.

Ja, I forgot the SB is sitting out here so our raise looks more like a blind steal (from the BB's perspective).

If SB is sitting out then that's an even easier preflop shove, don't frig about with standard raises in this spot.

I dont hate the PFR, I think I push the flop

Doesn't look like he wants a call. Could well be a heart draw. Why does a Q or the flush open shove this turn?

I might be outkicked but it feels like a draw and I call.

I'm not shoving 15BBs on the button. Like the pf raise but TLR's suggestion of a flop shove puzzles me. Do we not turn our hand into a bluff?

We have top pair on a draw heavy board vs a calling station, pot is 1200 with us and villian having about 2400 behind, betting 800 or so and the folding is not a great move IMO, so if hero bets he commits itself to the hand,so I would rather push

[gingerwizard]

Good point with the station read. I think without it pushing is questionable.

Pretty much exactly my thought process.

TLR's suggestion of pushing the flop is OK I think. We might get a call from calling station on a draw here.

SB is sitting out and there are antes...

jiggity PF, doesn't seem close seeing how if the BB/SB (whoever it is) is decent should be re-shipping a lot and my guess is you're not calling it off.
