Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
I have 22 in BB and a min raise gets from UTG gets folded round to me i call to see if i can catch my 2 on flop with the intention of avoiding any action if i miss my 2. Flop comes down Q82 with two hearts there. He bet half pot and i raised an extra full pot to which he flatted. The flop came and was a 6 but not a heart so now in my head im thinking i must be ahead. This time i lead the betting to over the size of the pot... this is where my question comes in i now know my oppenent was playing AJ both hearts now after my big raise on flop then this huge bet in relativity to the pot surely a fold would be the right action? For me personally i would have thought that you would be losing too much in the long run if you called the turn bet in the long run as at that point your not beating a lot thats going to be betting into you?
Of course he called in this situation and of course it was another heart on the river the K to be exact... he bet big and i called him off as i had seen it the way he played the rest of the pot he was more likely to have two pair then to have a flush. What are peoples thoughts on this im not trying to say he played it wrong as i dont play everyday so it could be my novice play but surely long run profit is a fold on the turn by my opponent there? Am interested to know as i find myself in his shoes quite often and would normally fold had the betting gone the way it went...

Wouldn't beat yourself up about losing on this occasion, we want flush draws to be calling all day long when we have a set and there is only one more card to come. If someone pays you off in this spot then make a note and make big bets on every street... obv sucks the time he hits, but the other times (more than 4/5) you've made max value out of him.
There may be some tweaks that could be made to your bets... not sure a bet bigger than pot will get called by many oppos in that spot (and we have a super-strong hand, so want lots of calls) - or even tempt oppo into semi-bluffing with his flush draw. Although against oppos like this, well played, do the same again and make maximum value out of them!!
