BB pretends like he’s going to bet pot, then bets 50 (he’s very weak and trying to get a cheap showdown when he does this!)
CO calls 50
Hero?

Do you think BB folds A3 if you raise to 400?
If our hearts were bigger we could thing about smashing and trying to fold out better hands on bottom. With a 7 high flush I think call is best.
Sorry, I misread your hand. Yeah, definitely just call with the baby flush.
anything but calling would be a punt
I called. BB takes bottom board with 86xx straight (he had nothing on top). CO takes top board with T-high flush (he had nothing on bottom)
Why are we betting this flop again? We have a marginal hand on top and absolutely nothing on bottom, not even back doors.

Seemed good enough when everyone checked to me on the BTN 5-way. I figured you have to be more aggressive in short-handed bomb pots. I'd check if it was 8-way. Maybe I did something wrong.
Saw results, but calling is the only option next to folding which might be a bit weak.
I would not have bet the flop 😉
I care, it’s useful imo to see what people are playing. Maybe every couple weeks you can do a sweep of inactive ones or I could just bump ‘em fir ya!
Your threads are always educational, enjoyable, and appreciated.

Ah, thank you! Thought I was being selfish and just extracting advice from y'all without giving a ton of advice out myself. Glad these posts are helpful to others. (:
If you check the 3 Handed 400bb thread, it’s why imo posting results is helpful to a plo novice like me.
