Gut Shot Straight Flush Draw

[Jarod Bartels]

playing 1/3 9-handed I’m in UTG with K/10 clubs $150 starting.
I make it 8. UTG +2 calls, Hijack makes it 20 w/ $190 behind. Cutoff calls, I call UTG +2 calls.
headed 4-ways to flop Kh Jc 9c.
I lead for $20 everyone calls.
Turn is 4d.
I check looking for an aggressor and HiJack jams. I call, others fold. realizing I didn’t take the best course here…what is the best course of action?

I think I would have checked the flop. With the intension of a check/shove. Someone will surely bet, probably HJ who squeezed pf, the K is pretty much in his range (well some Ks at least), if not broadways and Ax, and I guess he’s gonna cbet with his pairs, gut shots, pair+draw, etc.. and maybe even Ax.

You have 130 left and the pot is already 80 on the flop, I think it’s a pretty nice spot for a chk/jam. I’d rater be all-in on the flop than on the turn with your hand. My humble opinion 🙂

Yeah I agree with Chuck M. As played I like a check/shove on the flop.
