Should I lead out here? The .40 bet didn't convince me that he had anything. In hindsight, it looks like check-fold or lead out are the best ways to play it, definitely not check raise with middle pair. Thoughts?

I had the nut flush draw, so I bet it big. I made the mistake of not seeing how short he was. When I checked the turn, I was ready to give it up, but he had such a short stack, I called and sucked out. I guess the best way to play this would be a checkraise to put him all in on the flop?

Should I flat call preflop or 3 bet? I am not sure whether to 3-bet AK.

What do you think about the flop betsizing?

[dansiek]

1st hand i like ur line imo.
2nd hand i also bet this flop and just get it in on basically any turn lol.
3rd hand 3-bet pre and as played nice pot.

[Richy47]

Hand 1: Horrible line...... just cbet on this drawy board, plenty of value to be had here just by leading out.

Hand 2: Raise more preflop, as played I bet the flop and turn

Hand 3: 3bet preflop, as played post-flop is fine

[chipsnfish]

Hand 1 - I like leading out better here but check raising is surelly the second best option, c/c or c/f is out of question in this spot.

Hand 2 - I think you played the hand good given the short stack, I am never folding that turn for that money with 15 outs or at worst 9 outs.

Hand 3 - 3 bet preflop 90% of the time and call a shove. You're ahead of most of his CO opening range against the rest you're flipping only hand you're WB is AA even against KK you have some equity so I am 3 betting this most of the time, the 10% i flat is for deception i flat PP KQ AQ AJs in some spots might as well throw in some high PP and AK in the mix for deception.

Hand1- Just Cbet at 10NL...
Hand2 - Shove turn yourself; rest seems fine
Hand3 - If you know, that villain overplayes TP like that, flatting is totally fine.

[juvydriver]

1) I think you should always c bet here.
2) With so many outs and an overcard to the board against such a small stack, you have to call.
3) 3 Bet with AK most all the time. I think the flop betsizing was fine.

This.... I mix 3betting AK and flat calling... I feel you can get tons of value when you hit an A or a K and they have top pair with a weaker kicker... No one ever gives you credit for having AK

[donsimon987]

I've got another question concerning hand2 or TPTK in general. Is TPTK really strong enough to shove the whole ~100BB stack on the flop? Of course it depends somehow on the board texture, but let me give you some examples:

(hero has top pair top kicker with AKo. he has no other flush or straightdraws, he just has top pair, top kicker)

a) dry board, sth. like A83r, A55r,

b) drawheavy board, sth like Ac9hTh, As4s7s, Ah,6c,8c etc.

Are you willing to shove TPTK on boards like a)? What about board textures like b)? How do I play TPTK here correctly? Should I play for Protection? Should I play for Potcontrol? I have no idea
