Just bet out with the flush? I was trying not to scare them off. also, i would get to see what timesoff would do with his paired doorcard and when he didn't reraise, i felt i was in good shape.

I dont mind the check on 5th, but I think I would have 3 bet 6th street. I think its pretty clear, even with 2 fours out that Wounded made his wheel and I wouldent want to let timesoff boat up cheaply. I think Wounded is going to show it down regardless of what you do.

I dont think you make any more money by 3 betting 6th, but I think you protect yourself from timesoff hitting the case jack or whatever 2 outer he is drawing to with his jacks up and boating on you.

well, i'm not folding 3rd when i have 3 clubs and not one club out there.

weak passive huh? you should see how i normally play hands.

[piersmajestyk]

I start jacking that hand up on 4th street. If the guy in the middle folds he just folds. You have greater than 50% equity in this pot now on 4th and I want to put in as many chips as possible here. Playing it the way you did you have to bet 5th street, why give them free cards to pick you off? 6th street you got one guy with Aces up or a wheel and another just paired his door card you got to punish them with a three bet here and hope you make it through the 7th.

How much of a difference does a straight redraw possibility make in this all?

I know that you are obviously playing something like 456s, but what about 1 gappers? Does 467s become playable when there are no 5s and none of your suit out?

I know it is different for me most of the time, as I am 3 betting a baby 3 flush to get hu.
