Alan's Amateur to Pro (10)

4 minutes in and I am still listening to some totally uninteresting poker story about some guy I do not know. Zzzzzzz

Good info in this series. Thanks

Hi Alan, Firstly, one of the best instructional poker series I have ever seen, thank you. A quick question; on the Jc5h7c flop when you have AJs Spades: What do you think about flatting the flop raise, planning to shove over a Turn barrel on a safe Turn card (assuming the remaining opponent doesn’t show any real strength) as: 1.) Reg opponents play draws very aggressively, this is a wet board, a turn barrel is very likely and a draw is a large part of his range. 2.) If you shove over the flop, all the draws fold and you only get called when you are already behind. 3.) You can gauge the strength of the remaining opponent by his reaction to the flop action so far, and fold if he shows real strength. 4.) If the turn completes a likely draw, you can fold and minimise your losses in the hand. 5.) If you shove over the (safe) turn barrel, opponent(s) will then have put in a large proportion of their stack, and have very poor equity with one card to come.
