Hi guys, this is a live hand I played today. Wanted to get your advice on this

Blinds are 400-800-100 ante

MP1 (~15k) raises to 2300, moved to the table just 2 hands ago.

Folded to Hero (~55k) in BB with Jspade 8spade. I loosely defend my BB.

Pot: 6000 pre-flop

Flop: 5spade Tspade 4heart

Hero checks, Villain bets 3k, hero calls.

<I didn't want to donk lead here and I would also be in a fix if villain raises. Didn't think about check raise. Your thoughts?>

 

Turn (12k pot): 8diamond

Hero checks, villain bets 4.5k, hero puts villain all-in for 10k

<Now we have got a pair to go with flush draw which increases our equity in the pot unless villain has a set or straight. Is a check raise play good at this point? >

 

Result: Villain calls with 5diamond4diamond and it holds.

Yes. 3x is almost standard. Some good players make it 2.5x or so, but 3x of standard until field thins to around bubble time.

C/r flop is almost certainly best. Most importantly, you should be concerned that c/r did not occur to you. You really want to make a habit of considering all your options as a general principle, but especially in cases where you have a draw even if you are going to default to doing one thing without considering other options your default should generally be an aggressive rather than a passive option. Like, it would be much better to always raise with a no-showdown-value draw than always call with it, even though some of both depending on the situation is certainly far better than either pure strategy.
