Chasing A Flush Too Passively?

Lambert180

Did I play this ok? I know I was very passive throughout, but don't see much point 3betting hands like KJs at this level. Post-flop I was just happy to check/call small bets... I know I wasn't getting the direct odds but most of the time here, if I hit my flush, I can make him pay off a good chunk of his stack.

Way too passive?

Calling seems fine pre, depends on villain obv

Generally I would c/r flop intending to get it in to make him fold some of his Ax and weak pairs, you will always have reasonable equity. Calling can be ok, but oop I definitely prefer playing it fast

meh I think it's fine.

I play this kinda hand different quite often. Sometimes I c/r sometimes I play it like this. depends on my image and villain. readless I don't mind c/c

at nl4 i think this is fine
he's not folding and i think you can get value if you hit
i've done the betting/reraising line before when on the draw and not hit and they've not folded with 2nd pair,etc.
pot control ftw!

2 overs + FD - raise flop

equity + FE = win win

I think you needed to bet the Flop, its a semi bluff but u had 2nd best flush draw with a lot of outs IMO and assuming he is not a station as you do not mention any reads.
