    Pre-flop he was getting 9/2 and for about 2% of his stack he would call with almost any 2. Certainly the flop could hit his range.

    Post flop, the other player's stack is interesting. By betting out 3/4 of the pot NIHIGHGUN is quite willing to play for stacks with Adey should Adey play back, so he definitely has something, but the 3/4 pot bet indicates that his hand is vulnerable and not something with a cold lock on the hand.

    Options:
    Click it back - pot commitment becomes an issue and he isn't going anywhere with 7/2 pot odds
    Shove - gets rid of the 56, Ah3h hands, but you're not desperate for this confrontation.
    Call and re-evaluate - but what good turn cards are there? Possibly a queen, maybe a heart, but you don't know.
    Fold - this looks like scared play, but not unreasonable given your stack.

    I don't think there's an easy answer to this. If you feel you have an edge at this table, then probably folding is best. If you feel you're a little out of your depth, then shove and go for the knockout punch.

    From our play previous Im sure myself and Nih arent worried about the other player.

    They haven't checked a flop if they had hit any of it.

    His bet threw me a bit , was he protecting or knowing my UTG range was tight willing to call shove or click back.

    Sorry, bad choice of cards to indicate the flush draw!

    Deffo just calling here. It keeps the pot under control... if we raise, we have to GII, and alot of the hands we get it in against have very good equity or are already ahead. Flatting keeps his range wider, and we can definitely be ahead of a good chunk of his range. I've seen a lot of people in these £55 BHs will lead in spots like this pretty wide if there's a shortstack/weak player involved in the pot because he gets you to fold most of the time and is happy to GII and spin for the bounty. Wouldn't be surprised if he lead stuff like 56, 66-99, lots of heart combos, A3, A4, A5
