I don't understand your line here. Why check flop? Why check/jam turn unimproved?

I would cbet this flop, for a couple of reasons, the most important one being I don't want villain to draw to a flush for free with his one-heart holdings. We only really loose against flopped flushes, which happens 1 out of 118 times when seeing a flop. And yes, he can have 99.

On the turn I cbet again for value against lower pp, 9x and one-hearted hands that might want to see a river.

As played, you can turn your hand into a bluff by shoving here but I don't understand why you would want that. If you prefer a passive line, just call and re-evaluate river.

Bet the flop. You want villain to pay to draw to flush. Villain also has some pp that has a :heart: 77, 88, TT, JJ and there are also AQo, AJo, that has :heart: and 9xs that villain flats IP. The way its played its hard to know if you ahead or behind. I'd call turn I wouldn't shove, and call most non :heart: rivers as well.

Hey,

Bet 1/3 flop.
If you get reraised (which is possibly what you were avoiding here?) you're on a tough spot. But that tough spot shouldn't be avoided because there are many times that a small bet here takes over the pot, without allowing the opponent to realize his equity. Other than that, he is calling a lot with worst hands.

No jamming turn.

Without knowing your own though process and info on the villain it's always tough to give good feedback.
Withput any info I would Cbet most of the time as well for thin value and protection.
Off course you get in a tricky spot if youi face a raise. Now you change you're hand in to a bluff on the turn I think.

Cheers,

I don't expect to be raised when we cbet on a board like this. Flopped flushes should just call actually. If he does raise our cbet, we most certainly don't want to get it in...

Also I don't think you are you going to find a villain that bluffs a board like this. Most of the time they will just checkback. Given that it's NL5, we usually should expect passive play from our unknowns.

Lastly I am confused how you think you are reducing equity of hands like TT, JJ and QQ. Actually we give them a free chance to draw to a flush. We actually win from these hands on showdown when the flush doesn't hit. These hands are part of his range we want to extract value from by betting.
