Hi,

The main question here is if I should have folded OTT.

PF: I 3bet ~3,5x here because I'm OOP. Don't think calling would be a big mistake. Villain was tight, had a ~75% Fold3B.

F: Pretty standard, just a cbet 2/3pot: I have the nuts and I would not like to see him hitting flush draws.

T: I check (because... flush? really?).
Maybe I should have continued betting the straight, because he would still be calling with sets of tens and jacks (KK and AA he would have 4betted me PF, probably) and reraised with the flush?

He bets.
I think I should have called this one...
I'm not really even sure why I check-raised here. Straight still seemed pretty good to me and he would have betted those sets, but I'm not sure it was enough to account for the possible flushes there.

When he 3 bets me I had enough reason to believe that he had a flush and I should've folded, right?
Instead, I go berzerk and call him with no excuses.

How would you've played this one?
I guess flopping the nut straight was just too much for me to ponder everything else.

Thanks.

I would use the automatic reload option. This way you have at least 100bb starting stack during every hand.

I would most likely just Cbet the turn for value and protection and if villain shoves or raised it depends a lot on reads on the villain in this hand how I would play further.

Now you are checking with the intention to raise and now you are committed to call. Decent chance you even drawing dead against villains shoving range.

Cheers,

I think there is fairly high chance TT or JJ would raise flop. But turn bet would still make sense versus mediocre type hands like KQ or some two pairs. Those will likely check back turn fair amount of time but could potentially call. At least with one spade.

If facing turn raise it would indeed be tricky spot. But with SPR 2 I would not mind to stack off. Issue with x-r is that villain betting range should be fairly polarised and it's tough for him to have air. Maybe he turns some QT into bluff but those probably fold to x-r. So if we check it would make more sense to x-c.

Of course villain might overvalue some top pair etc. as this is small stake game. But less likely if he is tight.

Preflop - flop lokks good.
Cbet turn is giving sense, if he call than check-fold on the river, if he re-rise turn with 3spades on the board than fold on the turn.
