Re: Playing flush draws with a low upcard
[ QUOTE ]
i suppose my worries with hands like these is that they become obvious to decent stud players ... if you have something like a 4 or a 5 up, and you start betting hard when you start catching cards that match the suit of your doorcard, you may scare away a lot of players, and thus not get enough value of these hands when you make them to make up for what you lose when you miss

Well, look at it this way... You aren't going to misplay these hands much, right?
if the raiser is on your left, you get an opportunity to raise/checkraise the field. These hands make a lot of their money on fourth street.
Have you ever called down a hand "you knew" had you beat? So do your opponents...
Folding them in a likely heads up spot I don't think would be that big of a mistake, but adds deception to your game.
