Default Re: Interesting two pair hand.

there was a flush draw on board so I had to raise, calling was out of the question, since someone could have been drawing to flush and I had to charge them 2 bets.

You really aren't charging a flush draw on the flop because they have about 35% equity on the flop, and additional players in the pot do not eat away their equity.

If it is threeway, they are about breakeven on all bets that go in on the flop, given no one has a huge hand like a set. Don't forget that most draws usually have some other outs so their equity is usually a little better. So in some instances they profit on the flop when you bump it up.

There really is nothing you can do about the flush draws. But your flop raise certainly does knock out some hands you want gone.
