$0.25/0.50 tables. Bomb pot, where each player puts in a single blind and everyone goes right to the flop.
$4 in the pot; flop is 6d7dJs. SB opens for $2 and gets called my HJ (I have him labeled as a fish). I'm in the CO and have an up & down straight flush draw: 8d9d. I'd love to take this pot down immediately, but I'm definitely okay with getting it in. I 3bet "smallish" to $6.75 and get called by both spots.
$24.25 in the growing pot. Drumroll.... turn is of course, true to the title, 5d. I have the 9 high straight flush, with a total lock on the hand. Checks to me - I have two spots who called my raise; at least one should have a diamond draw - or something worthy of calling a turn bet. Bonus if both have call-able hands! That said, I want to bet small enough to keep in those who still feel they can draw out, but large enough that a shove on the river is not out of the question. Half pot seems reasonable: I continue to lead for $12. SB folds, but my $44 HJ fish friend soldiers onward.
$48.25 in the pot. River is a very good / very bad (i.e. polarizing for my opponent) Qd. I still have the same plan of shipping any river card into my opponent's $32 remaining. I ship it & get snapped off immediately: KhKd. Bro, what?
