You're Next Move...........
I'm a little bit curious about this hand after having a chat with a friend,
Your opinions will be greatly appreciated......
Ok, relevant stack sizes are: (6 max 25/50)
UTG Villain £11
BTN Villain £60
SB Vilain £19
BB HERO £74
UTG raises to £2, 2 calls, and then we come along from the BB wiv 67h
Flop: Kh Qs 5h
SB and HERO both check before UTG ships in his last £9
BTN calls and then SB takes an ETERNITY before CALLING, leaving himself £8......
Not much history as have not been sat down for long, athough UTG has been playing like a complete maniac
So......

the flat call from BTN who is pretty deep, he flat calls anything from KQ through to OESD or FD's. I therefore think raising here not to be optimal.
If you smooth call he probably pots or 3/4 pots the turn so unless you hit you have to check fold.
you also have to take the SB into account, he is so committed that you have no fold equity with him here or on later streets and no reason to bluff into a dry pot anyway.
I spose you are getting roughly the odds to call to hit the turn, but i would see this as a leak as its would hard to maximise your profit from the flush OOP and also there are likely some redraws to the flush from hands like Kx Jhearts...
just fold it.
I will post the rest of the hand for those that are interested after a few more regulars have also had chance to comment
£8 in pre-flop
£35 in on the flop by the time it comes back to you and you are being asked to call £9 (4-1) You are 4-1 to hit your card on the turn and 2-1 by the river. You are getting the right odds to make your call.
I have to say though that, I don't hate the fold because with an all-in and 2 callers there is nothing to say that someone else isn't on the flush draw either and if they are, yours probably wont be good.
If I have the nut flush draw it's a call every day of the week and twice on sundays but i don't hate the fold in this situation.

in a tornament i think i fold and wiat for a better spot, but in a cash game.. you are definatley getting better odds than you need to call.. im calling that all day in a cash game.
