    great video Andrew. I had a very similar hand yesterday, with nearly the same draw. I bet the flop and got raised the minimum. I called the raise, but was later wondering if I should have 3-bet my opponents flop raise. On the turn, I made my hand and I checked to the guy who bet 44K leaving 19K behind. I went all in and he folded which I thought was real strange. I was wondering if maybe there was a way I could have got him to get his remaining 19K into the pot. In your hand, I’m glad to see that you folded, because I often fold in this spot too, and was wondering if I was being a wimp or playing too passively because I do fold in this spot.

    Thanks. I think the bigger lesson is that, if he’s bet-folding the turn, there’s a good chance he would have folded the flop. It pretty much always makes sense to play big draws aggressively, unless they have showdown value (ie pair plus draw or A-high draws in some situations).

    Good analysis, but perhaps not weighing fully how strong a hand most loose passive players must have to check raise. I think he’s not laying down ever, even when the flush hits on the turn. It thus becomes much better to call with the big draw, get there cheaply and value bet strongly.
