In this hand we flop a small flush in a multiway, limped pot. We lead out and face a raise from a tight player. Should we be worried or are stacks too short to fold?

Why not shove the turn?
I had to fold a full house to old man coffee type. I had 33, board was 3 5 5 A 9. I was OOP and bet all three streets and he called, then jammed river over my bet. He showed A 5. You can make exploitable folds against these guys, but not here especially when stacks aren't even deep.
Hi man nice video. I have a question that I know it will improve my game a lot when I get the answer. To my understanding you should always continue playing if your win odds are equal or higher than your pot odds. My doubt is if I know my opponent is ahead of me should I still continue playing until the river or not? How I apply this rule correctly?
Great analysis 👍
Fold? Lol 😂
U play 4 high and flop a flush and fold? Keep your day job…
In Heros defense this is actually a somewhat sticky spot with a baby flush. The stack to pot ratio is really deep, because its a limped pot, and if you are up against another flush, you are drawing dead. On the other hand if you are up against a flushdraw or a set, you are only a 2:1 favourite.
I ran the math, and with 6 opponents the risk of being dead against another flush is around 17%, if we give them random hands. And this is really the minimum, because if any sort of hand selection took place preflop, people tend to fold unsuited hands to a larger extend than suited ones.
For this reason I dont like Heros lead on the flop. I would just check here for pot control and also frankly to see, what happen behind me, before I make my own decision. And if the action gets to hot like a bet, a raise and a 3-bet, then I would honestly just fold this on the flop. If its just a bet and maybe some calls, I will call and hope to catch a clean turn. Bert advocate a check-raise, but i think, that is really overplaying the hand.
Its a monotone flop, and 7 players saw it. So weather you lead into 6 other people, as Hero did, or you go for a check-raise, you are representing a super strong hand, which in this case is pretty much only a flush. So I just dont see the other players making that many mistakes against it, and certainly not when you have the worst possible flush.
Yeah they will call you with sets and the nut flushdraw for sure, but those hands have good equity, and they will also call or raise with all better flushes. And everything else will mostly just fold. Maybe you get one crying call out of a straight or two pair, but you could get that on the turn also, if its a clean card. So I dont see any reason to fast play this hand on the flop.
I agree with Bert, that as played the fold is wrong, but I think, the problems boils back to the flop play, where in my opinion we should have played more defensively by just checking. Now normally I am all about playing poker aggressively, but there are times and places for taking a more defensive line, and I think, this is one of them.
this hero hurt my head
i’d fold this flop. AK shouldn’t be in anyone’s hand and what else are we getting raised by? if i called flop i call turn.
If youre going to play a flopped flush this passively just save the dollar and fold pre flop imo
Scared money. If you play 43s and get that flop, why play 43s then?
