A $2/$5 turn decision with a combo draw

$2/$5 game at my local place.

UTG+2 ($800) limps and it folds to villain, a loose rec having a good night, in the hijack ($1900) - he raises to $15. Hero ($900) is in the C/O with Jt and 3bets to $50. The small blind, UTG+2 and hijack all call.

FLOP ($193)

KQ7

Checks to villain who donks for $150. Hero calls and the other players fold. Obviously I can't fold here, even though it's a large bet and stinks of shameless value, but I also think raising is not advisable - open to hearing arguments to the contrary though.

TURN ($493)

KQ76

Villain bets $300. Hero...?

hit flush, get stacked some of the time by A5cc.


Call turn. Getting a good price to draw and there is no fold equity. River will be an easy decision and we should get paid off if we hit.


Ditto the above. Bink!

Yeah I think the pot size lead in a multiway 3bet pot is going to be heavily weighted towards nutted value. In which case we probably don’t want to raise because I doubt there is much fold equity. Even without implied odds you only need to win like 28% to profit on a call so you are already getting better than direct odds. Click call and hope you get a yummy river because this guy is probably not folding even when the obvious draws come in.


Pretty sure I shove flop and don’t mind whether he calls or not. This also could fold out possible Axcc draws that are behind you.


Flop shove is probably fine, but I don't mind a call. You just have a ton of equity. As played probably just call turn.

I think turn bet pacing is important. Fast pacing is less likely to be strong imo. Twice the size of the flop bet with fast timing is usually weak, but the large multiway flop bet screams value. The main question in his bet timing imo would be if you could consider bluffing river if everything bricks and he checks. Seems suicidal, but you might consider bluffing river where you could lose to some A high and paired hands that might fold. Get JT off a chop.


Think I might click it back on the flop, to like $350. Don't really love the idea of flatting and facing a big turn bet on a brick. Hate the idea of bringing other opponents in behind us.

As played, I guess we just call, but I can sort of see jamming, if we think he's not paying us off if we make our hand.
