Hi,
BTN is rather solid reg. What should be my overall default game plan in this spot?

$0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 4 Players

BB: $30.43 (60.9 bb)
CO: $58.17 (116.3 bb)
BTN: $50 (100 bb)
Hero (SB): $52.36 (104.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T♦ Q♦
CO folds, BTN raises to $1.25, Hero calls $1, BB calls $0.75

Flop: ($3.75) 3♦ A♦ 2♦ (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, BTN bets $2.50, Hero calls $2.50, BB folds

Turn: ($8.75) 3♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $5.25, Hero calls $5.25

River: ($19.25) K♠ (2 players)
Hero bets $9.62, BTN raises to $41 and is all-in, Hero folds

Results: $38.49 pot ($1.92 rake)
Final Board: 3♦ A♦ 2♦ 3♥ K♠
BTN mucked and won $36.57 ($17.95 net)
Hero mucked T♦ Q♦ and lost (-$18.62 net)

Hey Danny,

Preflop call is fine. Also fine to 3bet bluff with this hand.

Generally I think leading flop is fine in these situations. We want to avoid giving a free card if possible, although checking is ok if we expect BTN to cbet with a high-frequency. I would x/r immediately. It's usually correct to fastplay even though we flop strong.

Bad card on the turn. We can only x/c now.

Standard option as played is just to check river and decide vs a bet. Donking may have merits, but unfortunately we need to fold to a raise on this board.

Do we really want to x/r flop when we have fish in the hand that can easily donate extra money in the pot? :rolleyes:

You can just x/r small-ish. If the fish wants to continue he probably will anyway.

Your general game-plan should be not to slowplay with flop flushes. There is a chance we just stack BTN on the flop here, but we lose that chance as soon as a bad turn comes. Even diamonds are not good for us. Either player may hold a baby flush and lay it down on a diamond turn or a paired turn.

Btw if you are so concerned about keeping the pot multi-way, just lead flop. This is what I'd do some of the time.
