This spot is tricky to me. The fact that you called IP means that our ranges will be much closer in equity. I still have the nut advantage so I went with a big c-bet. this makes it tougher for you to check-raise as you would have to put me all-in. I would have an easy fold to any check raise on this board. Had I made a smaller c-bet you could easily check raise and I would have to fold. With my specific hand you would have been able to get a fold had you bet the turn. But against my range this might not have worked. I would have called with most Qs and all As. With the equity you had with a pair and nut flush draw I can see why you checked it down.

Personally, in were I in Eric’s position, I think that a Raise on the Flop is beautiful. With front door flush, back door straight (in fact back door royal flush), and a pair already (albeit third pair), there is SO much equity if you are behind (quick count says ~52% against single pair hands, ~36% against sets). By calling, Eric will lose action on any flush card (unless Rob has a smaller flush). It is less likely that Eric is ahead when the board has two broadway, so a fold is not the worst thing. But in Eric’s shoes, I want Rob to have a tough decision and a raise will put the screws on. I am somewhat hard pressed to determine a Turn card that doesn’t make Rob’s decision easier…

Jonathan Little tells us to 3bet K9s from the Button pre at 40BB, Call 30BB to 20BB (we’re at an effective stack of 25BB), and fold 15BB and under.
And we call any 3bet from the blinds at 20BB+.
This hand would have been a lot easier if I had made a mistake and 3bet pre.
