Since we have 15brazilian outs would a smaller raise be better due to implied odds?Otherwise. we be cool.

You are probably right.I didn't want to give proper odds to Ace high flush draw.I have been reading Theory of Poker and it says winning the pots immidiately is better unless you have a monster. I am trying to win pots on flop in preflop raised hands.

I like your line. If you're drawing to the nut flush, then I can see making a smaller raise to try to keep opponents in, but I think trying to take the pot here with the 3rd nut flush draw is good, and if you're flat called and the flush does come, and you're bet into, then you have to consider that your hearts were beat.

Eh, the way he is betting though I can't see him having Ahxhxx. A $3 bet isn't going to force anyone out, and if he is faced with a raise is he going to stick $17 more dollars in a pot for a 1-3shot of hitting? hmmm, now I am slightly defending your move.This hand confuses me.

The $3 bet on the flop is just confusing in general.I can see someone using that as a blocker bet to try to get a cheap draw. I don't think a made straight or top set would make such a small bet. Two pair, maybe trying to pick up the pot cheap?

I see these underbets a lot at this level.I think they are mostly a crying bet yellin "Please don't raise and give me a cheap card"Sometimes they mean a monster but its rare as i observed.

Fold preflop. QQ74ss is trash. On the button ok, but just let this go in CO+1. Make it ds and I could be swayed.Flop is good.

I will just call, Ace high flush draw will not go away with 2 players already put money in the pot (+ the preflop pot money).If there are more than the original bettor and me in the pot then I will fold in most cases unless I hit my non-flushed straight.I don't like a non-nut flush draw in a 4-way pot in general. However, I will invest $3 to see what's going to develop.
