This hardly looks like a made flush, but is it a set/high PP enough for this to be a fold? How often is this a flat out bluff? Nothing really makes much sense here. Combo draw like an 8 or 9 with a high diamond?

I probably would have done the same thing you did

Fold pf, fold flop as played. You asked the question (ie bet 300), he answered. Even when you're hand is good you're not much of a favourite. The majority of the time I think you're seeing no worse than an all in semibluff with a diamond draw and probably at least one overcard, in which case you really don't want to get your money in here.

Smells kinda like Ad to me... maybe with a ten kicker given the raise before the flop, though combo draws, sets and overpairs also make up a big part of the range here too.

I'd figure you're behind a big chunk of the villain's range, and you're unlikely to improve, so folding's the best option.

You could of course make a hero call then try to fade half the deck, but why cause yourself the aggravation this early?

exactly. fold

 

[Bentheman87]

Preflop you want to call if you have position and it's a multiway pot. Here you're out of position against just one opponent who is the big stack, fold preflop. As played fold on flop.

ok well I'm convinced I played this horribly at every decision, I ended up calling this, facing AQ with Ad and my hand standing up. Note to self: playing while studying for diffeq exam is -ev lol.
