Default Re: TPNK + flush draw against large field

I'm surprised you didn't raise the flop here. With such a drawy board, you shouldn't worry about anything folding. Almost any conceivable preflop hand fits this board somehow. By not raising, you lost a potential 2bb (* your equity %) that you'll have to make up later on. Is it really worth waiting?

By not raising the flop, you're keeping the pot smaller and making it more difficult for people to call your raise on the turn. After a blank 2 comes out, a lot of backdoor draws have missed, so you'll lose out on all of those players and their money.

Finally, while SB has a wide hand range, you should really consider that there's a strong possibility that your Q2 is the best hand on the flop. I wouldn't necessarily relegate yourself to 2nd place right off the bat. Of course, a lot depends on SB's betting standards.

Turn and river are obviously raising streets.
