theory on four to a flush quads on flops
 

Ok so here is my thoughts with no math behind them. I think it is right when i have nut flush draw on flop to pump the pot as much as possible provided i have at least three preferably more players in the pot already. I know that the more players the more correct it is to pump here. But what about when you only have three players in pot and what about if you dont have nuts but only a low flush. At what point on a flop does it become profitable to pump a four to a flush.

Also do you lead the betting here when your table is passive or do you wait hoping to pump it later on if somene bets

I'm slightly more inclined to "pump" vs 1 or 2 opponents if:

- I have an overcard to the board (e.g. KTs on a J72 flop), giving me additional top pair outs. In such cases I will improve to top pair or better 55% of the time. And I might fold out a hand like K7.

- if I have position vs passive opponents who are likely to give me a free card

- the initial bettor has shown that he can fold later streets after leading a flop (indicating that he is either weak-tight or will often lead a flop with less than top pair)

But if I have something like 98s on a KJ5 flop, I'll probably only pump in position with 3 or more callers. With a pair + FD, I'll raise more liberally.
