Default Re: Did I chicken out with my flush draw on the turn?

The first flop raise is also no good. Look at the action. Why are you trying to isolate yourself against what is probably a much better hand, while driving out potential second-best-hand-makers?

If you were on the button with these guys inbetween you and the bettor, that's when you raise.

I think the OP would be well advised to try and soak in the concepts of relative position and how to apply it.

There is the argument that Hero could get a free card by raising here, but I think calling the initial bet is better. It's better to take advantage of the equity edge by calling this and not facing potential callers with 2 bets than going for a free card you are likely not to get anyhow.
