Uhhh, I guess flat and re-eval on turn. Reraise is bad imo and fold sucks too.

A guy like this I'm 3betting for value because he's betting almost his entire range and there are way to many action killing cards. Even if he has the made flush you still have a 33% chance to boat, and Im pretty sure he's stacking alot more than made flushes.

best range i could find against us

Board: Ah 6h 2h
Dead:

Disagree. Opponent is 6.4???? While it's very possible for him to raise with two hearts, he could also have the case ace and a random heart, total air, just about anything, etc. I think a raise is mandatory here and if he shoves over the top I would snap. We must fear the heart draw because Villain could have raised with some kind of Kh type hand... note that his flop bet is ridiculously small. I feel like he might be trying to just pick up a pot hoping we missed. How's his resistance to raises been on the flop?

I raise to 4$ here. Villain is basicly betting his entier range and there are about 47 scare cards/action killers left in the deck.
He is also paying u here with alot worse then flushes,this guy is probably looking us up with Ax,Khx,sets ect.
So yeah raise to 3-4$ and call shove imo.

This is a raise for sure. We dont need him to fold his Kh(which i doubt he will) for a raise to be right. Calling is really really bad here. We will get action from a lot of big hearts.

People dont donk flushes into A high boards much either...

If this is really the case, then there is little value in reraising here imo.
You raise/bet for 3 resons, value,protection,bluff.
In this spot where raising for protection and for value.
Villain isnt folding if he has the last ace,sets or some freaky two pair combos, so thats the part of his range where value betting against.
Where raising for protection from his Xh6x ect type hands.
Calling is just bad imo.

I probably just shove the flop - raising to any less than about $4 is just giving him a good price to call with a heart, and once we've bet $4 we've bet more than half our remaining stack anyway.

If he shuts down then so be it, we probably weren't going to get any more action unless he improved to something that beat us (or already has us beat) anyway. But I'm betting this hoping that he calls us with a pair + draw and even if he's got the made flush I'm not that concerned given our boat redraws.

first off, man I hate flops like that, hit one live on $5 - $10, guy flopped the flush and I couldnt fill, lost $600 on that hand.

Ok, he leads out 33% of the pot, he has trash, probably no heart, just raise here and take it down.

You call the $1 and he checks the turn, then pick it up on the turn, he has put all he is willing to into this pot, make sure to grab it before he rivers you.

I just don't think a player with that stack and a flush draw is going to bet $1 into that pot, they will want to gamble, make 2/3 to pot bet and try and out draw you, he has nothing and I dont see him willing to donate in this situation, he is hoping you have mid pair and will fold to the ace, or you yourself have no hearts and will lay down to any action.

I think this is the best advice. If you raise less than all-in, you will be committed. If a 4th heart comes on the turn and he shoves, you will be getting odds to draw at a boat and have to call anyway. So shove now.

Shoving now is just over a pot-sized raised, it's not even a big overbet. If he happens to have you beat you have the redraw. But because he's so aggressive, he might think you're playing back at him and call with a wider range.

I think the question here shouldn't be whether to call or raise, it should be how much to raise. Raising too small might give him odds to call with his naked heart and shoving will probably scare him off hands that you want a call from. This is a situation where I've found if you raise and leave like 3$ behind, making you absolutely committed whatever happens, garners you more calls than a shove, simply because opponnent is likely brain dead thinks a push and a raise here are different. I insta raise too, for some reason I get a lot of insta calls that way with very random junk. I've done this in tournaments a lot and the times you'll get called on the flop only to see them fold on the turn when you push your last 3$ giving the guy like 5 to 1 to call is astonishing. He'll be calling with no pot odds or implied odds in his favour, so more money for you in the long run even if you get drawn out once or twice. Just something I've picked up, obviously as long as you raise you'll be fine.
