-call and draw cheaply?

I think this is almost always the wrong line to take. You'll end up sharing a bunch of split pots or having tough decisions to make when you flush card comes.

aggreed... kinda one of those "when calling cannot be correct" situations.

-raise a lot/pot it to try to force out draws that dominate yours, maybe buy the pot right there, and/or get a free card?

Against the vast majority of players, this is the right move. If you are in a situation where you have a 16+ out draw against a player you believe to have a set, and they will fold bottom or middle set even 10% of the time to your raise, you will make money raising there in the long run. If you know that they will reraise no matter what or that other players will call with weaker draws to stronger hands, then generally you should fold since your ev will be neutral or negative.

I also aggree with this assesmanet, but oe has to be willing to fold to a re-potting by a solid opponent- they could have all your draws dominated, leaving you with very few safe outs and a couple counterfeited outs that'll cost A LOT when they come... like if a guy had top set WITH a nut flush draw, and you raise with a non-nut draw and wrap to try to isolate a set... intresting stuff. ty
