Semibluff flush draw

No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players$6 + $0.25 Heads Up Sit & Go Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter SBksemaliaris1425 BBHero1575  Effective Stacks: 48bb Blinds 15/30 Pre-Flop (45, 2 players) Hero is BB ksemaliaris raises to 95, Hero calls 65   Flop (190, 2 players) Hero checks, ksemaliaris bets 145, Hero raises to 300, ksemaliaris raises to 600, Hero goes all-in 1480, ksemaliaris goes all-in 730   Turn (3000, 2 players, 2 all-in)   River (3000, 2 players, 2 all-in)   Final Pot: 3000 ksemaliaris shows King Queen high Hero shows a flush, King high Hero wins 3000 ( won +1425 ) ksemaliaris lost -1425  Really early with no reads. I wasn't positive on what to do after the re-raise, so I erred on being aggressive. Is there a better alternative to the shove?

Even if you give Villain a

Even if you give Villain a rediculous range of mostly dominating hands here that he would cbet, you are still over 48% against that range.I used PokerStove to assign a range of all top pair hands, any pocket pair, Ten-high+ flush draws, pair+straight draw hands, and gutshot draws with an ace.I think a checkraise here is the best play, but I believe you should be making a larger raise to encourage him to fold more often. Being OOP, you would like to resolve the hand before the turn brings a blank or completes your draw, in which case Villain is likely to fold if he had flat called on the flop.Once you make a raise, you are committed to the pot, so shoving is best so Villain cannot possibly get away from his hand on the turn if you hit. Extremely doubtful, but you may even have a small amount of fold equity against some players.Well played!

hey

you should raise to at least pot or a little more than pot. if the pot is 190+145 = 335, than a raise to 350, 400 is fine and def allin after his raise.
