Been at the table for a little over and hour at this point. UTG has been limping into most pots, hardley raising, but not playing excessively loose. SB has been playing 90% of pots and I can't recall a single time he came in for a raise. Preflop pots are mostly limped, I've been the only one raising for the most part, mainly from the button and cutoff. SB has made it a habbit to call every time I raise pretty much. He also started making these really weak bets at the pot everytime against me, just like he did in this hand. I wasn't sure what these ment at first but after flopping a couple hands and raising him he folded everytime. So, now everytime he made these bets I raised him and he folded, pry about 5 or 6 times. He seemed like a weak enough player I wasn't worried about him trying to trap me with this play in the future.

So, on the flop SB leads out as usually, not really worried at all by this bet. UTG made a pretty quick call of the SB's bet. I've seen him make quick calls like this before when unsure about his hand. I gave him credit for something like top pair weak kicker or a draw of some sort. If UTG folded I wouldn't have questioned raising because of reasons stated earlier. But, with UTG's call should I just give this one up? I hate just calling with overs, so I think its raise or fold. He called my raise fairly quickly.

Now on the turn I'm not sure what to do. I've picked up a flush draw to go with my two overs, so I've got a ton of outs against top pair. I can't give him credit for two pair or a set the way the flop played out. I don't think he would slow play twice, he probably would have pushed a big hand after my raise. So, I'm still putting him on top pair or a draw. I'm torn between firing again here or just checking and trying to catch one of my outs. I like just checking because a 3rd club hit the board and he could have easily been on a flush draw. But and the same time I like betting because I think I can get top pair to fold with another strong lead. Or, if he calls I have a ton of outs. Thoughts?

I think it's highly likely he was on a flush draw himself.

Would the best play here be to check and hope to outdraw his flush, or bet/fold it?

As a rule, i hate multi barrel bluffs at microstakes

As pllayed, i check behind and hope to draw to the flush

The one problem I see with bet/fold is that the pot was right around the size of my stack. If I bet the pot I'm all in, anything else I'm probably pot commited unless I knew for a fact my flush draw is no good.

No one has a problem with the play on the flop? Maybe a little aggressive/risky but not horrible? I'm thinking the right play is check behind on the turn trying to make the flush. In the actual hand I did bet the turn, but I think it was because I didn't fully analyze the situation. I've found out lately that I can usually get folds by firing a second continuation bet after recieving quick calls on the flop. So many people are quick to call your first bet just because they assume it to be a contiunation bet, but the second shell is usually enough to convince them otherwise. In this hand I was treating the situation as if I had simply continuation bet the flop and got a quick call. I thought I just had to fire again and he'd go away. What I overlooked was that on the flop he called a bet then a raise. With him calling twice I don't think its correct to try and fire the another shell. This guy didn't fold to two bets on the flop, why would he fold to one more.

So I lead for 2/3 the pot, just hoping this guy goes away but figuring, oh well I got outs if he calls. He called, I rivered a king and stuck the rest in after he checked. Then proceeded to let a big WTF as he called and turned over black AA. I think the fact that I put in 3/4 my stack drawing dead just made me question the play to the point where I didn't think the flop raise was a good idea. But if no one else thinks it terrible I can just calk it up to bad luck and not bad play.

villian played the hand very badly

Played well preflop and on the flop.

Check behind on the turn.

Call (maybe raise) a river bet if you improve.
