Definitely, you're blocking the full houses , if he has pocket 4s/ q6 gg .

You know what maybe against an aggro player i prefer to check call here , depends how he plays rivers

I also agree with value bet here aswell. Smallish like 40% maximum of the pot. Rarelly they come ovethe top as a bluff.

Weird spot with blockers. We have to go kinda small to target flushes. I'm tempted vs someone I think is pretty capable to go like $150 and call a raise but vs most I think $220-250 and folding to a raise is gonna be best

Because the button is aggressive checking with the intention of calling can't be that bad but neither is betting about have pot as others have mentioned. If betting I'd probably fold to a raise even with blockers and an aggro opponent.

One question: Why did you bet only a little over half pot against two opponents on the turn after making your flush? I tend to reserve the half pot bets for the river when making my flush or making the bluff with the single nut flush card in hand. (BTW, I'm not sure I'm right to approach it this way but curious what others think).

I think shoving on a raise is better with the blockers and the flop action .

There won't be enough behind, we have just under $1k going into the river if we bet $150 get raised to $500 jamming $1k is gonna be pretty sketchy. Also the fact we have blockers doesnt prevent him from having QQ/JJ which would be the most likely hands he would raise

It's extremely unlikely, and agro player would raise this wet flop with this holdings .

You people want to valuebet a nut flush on a board with trips on it?

I remember when valuebetting a nut flush on a paired board was seen as aggro

With specifically QJ in our hand and the fact he didn't raise the flop it seems reasonable vs a lot of people. If he's very nitty or very unpredictable/wild it probably isn't great

We're also blocking literally all the wraps, and the nfd.

EDIT: oops, misread the flop as having a 6 on it. NVM. I don't understand why OP said 'Turn (260) : 6sss'. Yeah for sure vb, I probably make it $300. It's not just that we block the boats and he never raised, it's that having raised pre, we bet a flop, signifying 'made hand', then bet again on a turn that completed the main draw, and then bet again on a river that paired the board. I.E. we're selling a different hand on every street, and that induces a lot of opponents to call down very thin if they've got this far. In part because we're also polarising ourselves to (close to) nuts or air, and we're going to have a lot of double barrels with wraps and the bare As, figure that opponent doesn't have many sets themselves, for similar reasons.

I use the terminology 6sss to signify a third spade.

You could just change the suit to diamonds or something and then you don't have to write sss and risk confusion,

Your description could also read as 'A7 single-suited'

Anyway still my mistake in misreading. Given blockers and unblocking KT98 I'd guess we're ahead here like 80%+ of the time and we should get a call a lot too. He's going to have a lot of hands like KQT9 with fd and convince himself to call because he's blocking a boat.

We are heavily blocking this board.

Flop I think we bet too much but it’s fine. Turn is a nut changing card and we should be super polar here. I don’t like this sizing choice. We should be potting with nut flushes and hands like sets and 2 pair with blockers.

River is a nut changing card though and now we need to consider our range. We have a lot of nut flushes and some boats with blockers properties. That means we need to be defensive and protect our nut flushes and check a lot of boats. We have a hand that blocks a lot of boats and won’t really get much value from weaker flushes given the board so most our EV will come from weaker flushes value owning and bluffs from our opponent. We can comfortably call any size bet with this hand and should.

Check call River.

I’d like a pot with the Ahi blocker and just QJ

I dislike the flop sizing. I think it's almost always suboptimal to be betting pot on the flop, especially multiway unless we're getting a sizeable chunk of our stack in the pot.

I do prefer this turn sizing though. You could go slightly bigger but I'd probably have bet a similar percentage of the pot on that turn.

The river is very tricky and complicated. Do we have the best hand a ton? Yes. But what are we even ever bluffing with, and what can actually call us down that we're ahead of? Often if I'm betting flop and turn w/ something like AsAx5x4x and the board pairs, I'm generally giving up in those spots since I'm generally giving up value betting a lot of flushes when the board pairs. But we block all the most common boats like QQ JJ Q6 J6, so, that puts our hand in a very weird situation.

I'm leaning towards a fake block bet and calling a raise. So, something like 180 with the intention of calling versus any raise. But, I've read the comments and you've said you don't believe these guys will take something with a naked 6, like a KsT9s6 and bluff us, so, if that's the case, it's just so tricky, we're basically trying to get value from weaker flushes on a paired river after we've 3 barreled, so it's really tough trying to get that value. If you really don't think they are going to bluff, then you could still just bet this small amount and fold to a raise I guess. I just really don't see you getting paid off making a significant bet here, but, maybe your opponents are just bad and will just call it down.

Okay, if your opponent is strong and someone you respect, do the block/call raise, and if it's someone you don't respect who you think is weak, just bet like 380-440 and fold to a jam.

Check - calling river seems better than check-folding but not by much. He's going to check back a bunch of lower flushes he'd call a bet with, and he's not going to be bluffing very often

pot the turn for starters.

w blockers I think you can bet/call small vs a wildcard, bet/fold 40% vs a nittier guy, x/c vs competent guy
