Hero? SB WILL bet any flush draw, and will bet an ace or two pair. I'm nearly certain BB has AJ/AQ possibly, though unlikely, AK type hand. I am slightly scared of playing this hand 3 handed against a possible flush draw by making a small, donk raise. What is a good raise to price the possible flush draw out, and possibly keep the Ax, where x is a broadway card, in. BB probably won't call a really big bet here with anything but AK or possibly AQ because he respects my raises. BB could also have a A2, A8 sort of hand from the BB, as could SB.

Raise to $10 at least. Call a push.

I don't want to drive the draws out because I want to continue making money with this hand. I just want to charge them the maximum. Around 10 seems good. You have position on both in case a club does fall.

i think a raise in the range of $8-10 is in order, even though the SB may have a flush draw, you don't know that for sure, and two raises may scare him out of the pot in any case, so a big raise isn't necessary i don't think

I'd say at least $10, perhaps as high as $12 if you think either are loose enough to either call with a draw, or Ax.

This is a smoking gun play. You just need two bullets.

Make them pay the first time (like $8 each) and then fire a big bullet. (16$ or so)

You don´t want to see a 3,4,5 or a club. if it´s none of the previous fire the big bullet.
Needless to say any player could be in here with any two of the following 3c 4c 5c and wait for the connector or flush.








Unless your name is daniel negreanu ofcourse. Then you´d certainly be beaten once you have the nuts. !

Raise to $10, call a push. $10 leaves you with a reasonable sized bullet on the turn.
