It's one of those hands where I'm not that interested but I get some equity in the flop, then I'm either ahead or drawing for a boat. I had no mental process here so I just tried to keep things calm and soft to get to a cheap showdown with not much action.

Still... I think my line sucks seriously.

Which guy is the passive fish?

Why arent you betting the turn? You cant go thinking everytime theres 3 hearts on a board that your opponent has a flush, you have a set start putting some money in the middle, he will tell you if he has a flush or not.

Ah I laughed so hard!

Yeah I remember some time ago that I was betting flushed boards because flushs are kind of rare. I was happy with the outcome but marked it for review because I wasn't happy with the line.

So I guess that turn is a bet and fold to a raise and check the river?

Look you're at it again lol, turn is a bet and river is a bet! and yeah if its a sizeable raise i suppose we could fold.

But betting just under the pot on each of them to get the most money in the middle as passive fish call with far worse than a flush here! Any king and i doubt he's folding. If once you bet the turn and he calls if you think a pot sized bet on the river would scare him off then bet like 2/3 or something you think he is more likely to call, always try and squeeze the most out of him.

Bet turn and call a reasonable raise and you can probably bet/fold the river for value

Got it!
