I was just playing a cash game, low stakes, 1/2¢. I have 67¢ with Ts,Js in big blind. One limper on the button, I 3-bet and he calls. Flop comes out 7h,9c,8h, so I have flopped a top end straight. I check, he bets 1.5x pot, I shove, he calls and has me covered with Ah,8h. Turn comes out as another heart, and I lose to a flush.

Did I play this hand right?

How is there two 8 of hearts in the deck? Yes,I would never fold the nuts and he will go broke soon with 36% equity all in moves like that, although he thought his two pair was live.

the chances of him making his flush was just over a third so you made the right move - at least you were short stacked

ha ha ha LOL,
This is so foolish, unreasonable, and out of place even to be amusing. Ridiculous !!

Two 8h in the same deck. Are you been playing poker with two decks mixed together?

Bad move to check on the flop when two cards of the same suit are showing. You flopped a straight and got too greedy and lost because of it. You have to consider that the villian is looking to fill a flush and raise your bet such that the odds of getting his flush are impossibly high.

As right as one can possibly play such a hand. But cards as cards are the element of probability played a role. Gl next time

Maybe you could only lift it on a flop, let's say I would do that, but certainly the right call ...

No matter what happened it was all going in on the flop. If you bet he probably raises, plus with the stack sizes there is really no other way to play the hand.

Sometimes in poker you can do everything right and still lose particularly when your opponent has a lot of equity.

I would never check this on a wet board, I would probably pot it and check your entire range on the turn with the intention of check-calling or check-folding depending on the price.

The board is wet, but you also have the nut straight, the only bad cards on the turn are a heart or possibly a 10. By potting it you are folding out hands that have literally no equity that might pick something up on the turn you can get value from or that might take a stab when checked to.

But no matter how this hand is played the result will always be the same because of the stack size. With the nut flush draw it would be a terrible play just to flat a pot sized bet when the hero only has a half pot bet behind.

I was really tired when I read this, but how do you 3 bet if he limped? You mean you raised in position? That is very different than if he raised and you 3-bet him.

In any case im not sure you are deep enough to actually play poker here. You cant ever fold with your stack size, he cant ever fold because his price is too good. The pot is around 40 cents after he bets 1.5? Assuming you have around 50 left, its 28 more for him to call your shove? So after you shove the pot is 90 cents 28 for him to call? His hand has 40% equity against yours, so for that price even if you SHOW HIM the nuts when you shove, he shouldnt be folding.

The other side of this is, if you bet the flop instead of checking.
20 in the pot, you bet 15-20, maybe even 25, now his draws have a MUCH worse price. [But he is still probably calling, because if you have an overpair like JJ, he is actually a favorite to win]

I agree with mikeisthebestever. I never check on the flop in this situation.

I would have led the flop with a flush draw on board, ok to take the pot right then and there...he is probably calling anyway but I would have led out...

Going all in with the nuts is the way to go, no mistake there. You got unlucky, but that's poker!
