In last week’s strategy column here on PokerNews, I explored a hand involving one of my students and basically asked whether you value bet certain turns or check hoping to get to showdown. This week, I look at another hand where my student flops the nut flush draw on a three-flush board and gets check-raised. In such instances, do you usually see a turn or do you jam all in on the flop?
The hand took place in a live $550 buy-in World Poker Tour event when action folded around to my student, who we’ll call the “hero,” and he looked down at the sitting on a 110 big blind stack.
