DECISION POINT: In an online Tournament where blinds are 300/600 with a 600 big blind ante, a Middle Position player raises to 1200 and it folds to you on the Button with A♦J♦. There are 3 players remaining until the money bubble. You raise to 3000 and everyone else folds except for the MP player who calls. On the 10♦7♦Q♠ flop, the MP player checks, you bet 5000 and your opponent calls. The turn is the 9♣ and the Middle Position player checks.

Action is on you, what do you do here?

PRO ANSWER: Three players away from the money bubble in an online tournament, you reraise a 2BBs open from MP1 to 5BBs with AJ suited on the Button. You started the hand with around 40BBs and have MP1’s 30BBs stack slightly covered. The MP1 player calls your 3-bet and you flop a huge combo nut straight/nut flush draw.
MP1 check/calls your 8.5BB c-bet and the 9 of clubs comes on the turn, giving you even more outs to this massive draw. MP1 checks to you.

This is a good opportunity to execute a turn second barrel all-in with your big draw. As the last aggressor preflop we maintain the equity advantage and this flop texture connects very well with the likely 3-betting range in this scenario. We’ve also continued to leverage this equity advantage by sizing up our c-bet on the flop. Even though our opponent chose to continue on this highly coordinated flop texture, there are still strong factors that favor aggression again on the Turn.
