so last night i was playing poker at the boat in indiana...

i get 9-10 of hearts .... i limp in with 5 others... there was a straddle and he makes it 15. I was in the SB. one guy calls the 15 and all others fold to me ... i call...
the flop is Qh-Jd-2h.
I check
the original raiser bets 20. other guy calls i think and call. i think i should have reraised, i know i would have had it been heads up.

the turn is a 3c. I check and the original raiser bets 35. other guy calls ... and i just call again.

the river is the 3s.
I check guy bets 50 other guy calls and i fold.

the original guy had nothing doesnt show and the other guy turns over q-10 off...


i know in hindsight that i really should have check raised on the flop when i had the chance to. the guy with nothing would have folded and the guy with q-10 likely would have folded also... just a piss poor passive play on my part...

So let me get this straight.

You folded the 3rd nut flush to a bet of $50 when the pot was sitting at $300+?

Really? There was no re-raise war or crazy action either to indicate someone was slow playing anything.

Really? What am I missing here?

I don't see where he had a flush.

Good point. I misread his hand...I thought he flopped the flush.

Me dumbass can't read.

If you check-raise, you are doing it mostly for value, which is a good idea in a 3-way pot with a 15-outer. You're better than 50% to make your hand, and you are raising because you are getting 2:1 on every dollar you put in the pot. So yes, the correct play is to get as much money in the pot as you can. But in hindsight, I don't think there's much change that the Q-10 folds, so I think you saved money.

My default would probably be to bet out on that flop out of position.
