Obviously not the wanted result in cards to come, but does anyone like the play?
I figure:
1. They'd have to call w/ something like AK, KK, AA, 44, 88 or perhaps KQ (these turbos are donkkkkkkkkkkktastic)
2. I have a gsd and a fd which makes me about
46% to win against any Kx...
43% to win against Kx two pair
33% to win against KK 88, 44 set and
29% to win against a higher flush draw.
What is your advice on how to play the hand?
Full Version: Anyone Like The Play?
Check/fold?
The problem is a "moron" will call you with AQ, a weak king, a better flush draw, and maybe even A8, on top of the hands you mention.
Not to mention that, acting first, againts 3 limpers, any player could have caught a significant piece of the flop.
don't know - I'm torn.

Overbetting like that reads like a flush draw - any strong K would be likely to call you.
I either check or bet out 450 to represent the K. If I get called, I would check/fold the turn since it didn't help me.

as a proponent of open pushing, I still am not on board here.
give me a Q high flush draw and/or 14 outs, like some overs, and I'm on board.
or at least some more fold equity (non morons)
I'd c/c a small bet.

So what if i was open-ended instead of a gutshot?
If you want to take the pot away, I think a check/raise is much better than an open push. It looks like you actually have something, and when you do take the pot down, you take a bigger pot. However, since you're playing against $6 Turbo donks, you should probably just check/call. I really doubt that your opponents are going to fold hands like KT or K9.
