Default Re: I\'m not a player I just fold a lot...

Do you think that 2 or 3 players checked with 4 to the flush? I'm not sure, but I think you have to bet here and hope for a raise to thin the field. In fact, a bet from you might knock people out where a bet from the last-to-act won't. (This is a phenomenon I've noticed at the lower limits--people never give the last-to-act credit for a hand when he bets instead of taking a free card.) Your hand is strong enough to take on one 4-flush, and nobody's suit is completely live.

I don't hate the fold... if you are up against 2 or more four flushes, you're in a world of hurt with the dead aces. But with them all checking, I'm not sure if you can assume you're against strong 4-card draws.
