Default Re: Post flop profit maximization. (Flush draw comes through)

Bet the flop, look at your position compared to the preflop raiser

What?!?! Why? Want to shut others out? Don't like money? Like calling raises with only a draw? Forgot the definition of a semi-bluff?

Please, somebody give me a damn good reason.

Thanks,

Calling raises with "only" a draw. It's quite a strong draw, and there are many players, plus there is a chance that the preflop raiser will raise a again, increasing your overall expectation. With this many players There is a pot equity edge, therefore bets and raises are in order here. Bet the flop, all will call, MP or CO raise, all call again. Now they've all invested 2 bets; that's good for a flush draw, plus a gutshot (albeit a slightly weak one)
