Re: theory on four to a flush quads on flops
I'm slightly more inclined to "pump" vs 1 or 2 opponents if:
- I have an overcard to the board (e.g. KTs on a J72 flop), giving me additional top pair outs. In such cases I will improve to top pair or better 55% of the time. And I might fold out a hand like K7.
- if I have position vs passive opponents who are likely to give me a free card
- the initial bettor has shown that he can fold later streets after leading a flop (indicating that he is either weak-tight or will often lead a flop with less than top pair)
But if I have something like 98s on a KJ5 flop, I'll probably only pump in position with 3 or more callers. With a pair + FD, I'll raise more liberally.
