[25NL FR] KQ: C-bet on monotone gets min-raised

I would flat call here. If you raise and your opponent pushes, then what? You have nothing but a king high. The fact he's letting you chase the flush cheaply is a situation you often hope for (besides a check of course). If a blank comes on the turn, I would check and see what he does. Betting it would be bad either. It would ive you an idea of where he stands on the hand at that point. If that happens, I'll fold.

we have middle pair, the nut flush draw, and a backdoor straight draw(and royal flush draw), that's quite a bit more than K high. Even against a flopped flush we still have 31% equity. There's $10.15 in the pot with $13 something left behind, just shove and be happy about it. You can almost never get it in bad here.

You're right. How did I miss that? I would still flat call (since you are probably convinced he has an Ace). If this was a tournament, i would probably shove but with a cash game, I usually play a little more conservative.

Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

I jam this too btw. Our draw has next to no implied odds, because we're never getting paid when another flush card hits. Just hope your kings are live, and he doesn't have outs to a boat & jam it in.

Our hand vs. a likely calling range, Big aces, sets, and some random made flushes. (our equity doesnt change all that much if you add more flush combos, if you go up to 12, we have like 39% equity)

Hand 0: 40.159% { KsQh }
Hand 1: 59.841% { AA, QQ, 22, AJs+, JsTs, Js9s, Js8s, Js7s, AJo+ }

Given the way the money went in to the pot and our equity when called, he has to fold between 5% and never to make shoving profitable. Since most of our equity comes from our draw, and that draw has pretty much zero implied value, shoving is by far the best choice.

fold preflop?

as played, i shove this all day against villain's min-raise.

Folding this preflop from the hijack is extremely weak imo. Definitely shove over his bet though on the flop
