5/10 cent cash
So I decided to try out 5/10cent today for about half of a full buy in, just for shits.
Question, how would you handle this situation.
Hero and villain have equal stacks of approx 6 dollars each.
Hero is utg with AcJc, makes it 4xBB to go and gets two callers.
Flop comes 10cAh2c
Actually a really good flop for hero, nut flush draw plus top pair medium kicker. So hero leads out for 7xBB. (I did this because I like to c-bet alot of flops so I get more action when I actually do have a hand. Not to mention taking down a fair number of pots uncontested) One call, and then the villain re-raises to 2.40.
At this point i have to figure my Aces are no good, but do I chase the flush draw?
Pot odds calculation:
need to call 1.70 to win 5.15.
5.15/1.7 = 3 to 1
Odds of hitting flush approx. 3 to 1
But what about if I don't hit on the turn?? He's going to bet again presumably all in, so is this really an investment I want to risk??

He basically, whenever he's about to make a decision asks himself if he should be raising first and foremost. As a few people have said, aggression is best in poker, so by asking first if you should raise, you're considering your most aggressive options first. Then consider calling / folding.
In this situation, I cannot see someone just flat calling PF with AQ / AK, so the only realistic hands you have to be worried about are a ragged A2 (which you have 15 outs to beat) an A10 (12 outs), or the dreaded set - definitely not AA here (or I throw up) but possibly 10 10 and likely 22 - but even then you have 8 outs for the flush and runner runner possibilities.
You push here and you will see some pretty ridiculous hands, A7, 34, 45, 10-J, etc etc.
