Re: Question about non nut flushes
Non nut flushes suck pretty bad. Those hands like 89TJds are pretty great hands, but you are not specifically looking to hit the flush with them. What is great about them is the ability to hit multi-way flops. The flush part comes in very handy as a feature that helps hit more multi-way flops. You can get all in against someone with the same straight as you but be free-rolling to a flush, they can act as blockers against someone who is drawing to a flush. Aiming for a straight/betting top-two and backdooring a flush makes it a little stronger. Etc, Etc.
However if you all you have is a J high flush (or draw to it) on the flop you should be very cautious with it. Most people arent going to give you much action with a flush worse than that, though some will. I usually only bet it in good postion when it has been checked around, or in shorthanded pots.
