Re: How to play against a flush draw? What should I have done ?
He was drawing to an open ended straight as well as a flush...even money call for him if he gets to see the next two cards. Your allin bet gave him the opportunity and the odds, and it makes you look like you don't want to be called.
I believe it would be better here to bet 1/2 to 2/3 of the pot on the flop, same on the turn, check the river if a scare card comes.
he's not laying down his hand here no matter what, but at least you have a chance to get away from your hand, or loose less than your whole stack.
