10 thoughts on “Poker Strategy: We Flop A Straight Flush What Should We Do”

1. Hero just got lucky, he shouldn't have been in this hand in the first place IMO. Oh well sometimes you get lucky. Would have went all in on the flop and called it a day.

2. First off I dont like preflop. While I am onboard with going a bit large against limpers, 12 BB into a pot of 3,5 BB is to much. Hero is not giving himself a good risk/reward, and are other players really going to make that many calling mistakes against QJs for that size? Probably not.

   And when Hero face that huge 3-bet to almost 50 BB, its time to let the hand go. A suited connector is not the kind of hand, you want to play in a bloated pot. And even with this incredibly deep 300 BB effective stack, the SPR is still going to be low, because both Hero and Villain went so large. If Hero had gone to 7-8 BB, the 3-bet would also have come in smaller, which would have given Hero much more room to get involved against it.

   As for the rest of the hand I did not hear Barts analysis, but I can really go either way here. Its obviously a very dynamic board, but this can work to both our advantage and disadvantage. If Villain have a hand like AA or KK with no club, there are a lot of action killers, that can come on the turn or river. But there is also a chance, he can catch up by improving to a flush or boat, which would be really good for business.

   The fact, that he almost potted the flop, would lead me towards a slowplay. I think, that if you come over the top against such a big bet, you are showing an incredible amount of strength, and you might induce a bit more folds, than you want to. With hindsight it must have been some kind of weird fear bet trying to take the pot down, and raising into that is not the best line of action to take, since it just confirm his fear.

   The fact, he bet-folded the turn for that price, is still pretty crazy. But if I just called the flop, I see no reason to change the plan on the turn. There is still one more street to come, and because we have position, there is no risk, he can check behind.

   So either jam the flop and be done with it, or follow through on the plan, you made on the flop by just calling the turn as well. But most importantly dont be in this spot to begin with, since the preflop line is surely negative EV in the long run. You are not going to smash the board that often, and when you flop top pair, you are the sucker, who end up paying off his overpair.

3. Every time i flop a bottom 2 straight or even a mid it seems like someone always has 2 pair or a flush and hits it its so sick

4. Either raise the flop or smooth call the turn. Raise river. If your image is tight to solid then don't raise till river. … You need to advertise more to get paid off better here. Show bluffs

5. subscribe me !!

6. Raise the fiop? Cmon, Bart!

7. nice

8. As the hero are you ever raising as a semi bluff. If not i think its hard to get paid. It depends on your image at table. If you are capable of turning the Ac x hand into a big semi bluff to balance i could see raising. When you call twice your hand is at worst a set in the mind of the villain imo.

9. just reading the title of the video made me laugh.
   (I've never made a live straight flush or quads)

   play for the "high hand" bonus?

10. The problem when you flop a straight flush or a huge hand, is psychologically you want to slow play to prolong the time that you have such a great hand, and you want to take it to showdown just so you can show everyone "Hey look, I have a straight flush," and then get the attention or recognition for it. Clearly not the right plays to make money, so you have to fight that.
