Hey Laci24,

I prefer flop check here. You have a very strong hand but don't necessarily want to get all the money in just yet. Since you are drawing to the nuts you don't necessarily mind if everyone sees a turn card because you are more likely to get paid off when you hit. Your draw is a lot more valuable than your weak top-pair here.

Since there are still 3 others in the pot I will probably just donk-bet the turn to avoid giving everyone a free card. Check-raising is my second favourite option though and will be fine. I think both are slightly better than check-calling since it can be hard to get paid on the river OOP + the turn is your last chance to get value from any draws.

Hi there, evaluating this as my homework, promise I didn't read the professional evaluation before writing this :)

Preflop huge pot odds, easy call

Flop is pretty crowded, check/call looks good to me.

Turn gives us nuts, I like the check. He probably does not have a lower flush (would have to raise UTG preflop with QJs or less), most likely he holds Ace-broadway. Your huge shove reraise is risky, as you represented a flush and he could fold.

I would either raise smaller on turn, then shove on river, or slow play it to the maximum by check/calling turn and check/shoving river.
