Giving up here. Flop smashes their calling range, we can't really carry on if they raise our bet and c-c also blows.

Pot is bloated, don't like betting as our equity isn't so good either.

Nice flop lol.

As Harvie said t hink this one is give it up time unfortunately for our hero. Even if we chk/c the flop we're really looking to draw to the Ah, not a lot else looks like it would be much good for us. If we bet and get raised - a strong possibility on this board - we're going to have to fold out anyway aren't we.

Just a sadface fold for me and try again next time.

What do people think about flatting pre (to keep the fish in the pot) and leading out when connecting with the flop? I think there is a lot more value in it.

I agree with checking flop.

It's one of those deceptive textures for our hand. Two overcards, gutshot and a backdoor 2nd nuts flush draw. But the problem is how well it hits a normal defending range. The good thing is that our opponent can believe that we might check KK+ here because we don't want to get raised so we might end up in a spot where we can check down one or two streets and end up with the best hand.

Yep definitely one that feel tricky at first glance... but often we'll see then hit lots of pair+straight draws here, or two pair so we really don't like this board vs their calling range. Their pairs of TT, JJ are pretty horrible for us here.

But to go a step further... I don't think we have as much equity as we think either. Some of their hands contain J's here and that'll give us less to hit so I'd be checking and giving up.
