The blinds were $0.15 and $0.25. I was dealt Kh 10h when I was in the cutoff. Some people then limped in before me, therefore I decided to limp in as well. Next was, button called together with SB while BB checked.

Eventually, the flop came 9h 8d Jh. It was great for I am on for a straight flush draw. After making a pot sized bet, button raised with his own pot sized bet. Just an information, the button is a solid player, but more or less he was on tilt at that instance because of some lost pot.

After the raise, I decided to move all in, hoping he will fold or call. Finally, he called in a flash and showed Qs 10c, ugh, he then flopped the nut straight. Quite expectedly, the board have turned to be 9h 8d Jh 10d 2h, thus giving me the flush on the river. Eventually, I’ve taken down a big pot. What do you think of my play? How about on how I’ve played the hand?

Please, I need clarity.

Thanks!

Blake,

Not only did you have a straight flush draw, but you had an open ended straight flush draw. You had 15 outs and a 60% chance to hit your hand before your opponent showed his hand. Then your outs dropped to 11. You had a 44% chance to hit your hand. I don’t think I would have moved all in on the flop like you did. When you opponent repotted you, you should have put him on a hand. The positive thing about the hand was that you had a big draw.

Your play was not horrible, but I think you played a more aggressive on the flop than needed, but with your draw, I can see why.
