Default Re: Play Along...... street by street - The FLOP

How is it profitable for someone with a flush draw to call at 3-1 pot odds when they are 5-1 to make their hand on the turn? I have no intention of letting them see the river for free. In fact, they will clearly be priced out on the turn.

While a flush or open-ended straight draw is making a small mistake by calling this bet, a small bet will also induce hands like a gutshot or middle pair to make a bigger mistake by taking a card off.
