Default Re: I hate small flush draws...

I would probably three-bet on fourth. I love straight flush draws, so I can't help myself. Going for the over-call is OK, though.

Raising fifth would have been best. If the third man folds, you increase your chances of winning by making two scraggly pair. If he calls, you're getting volume on what is still a strong draw.

On sixth, by my count, you've seen nineteen cards. Of the remaining 33, two Deuces, one Trey, two Fours, and five spades will give you a straight or better. I think you're going to need to hit in order to win. The guy with the Aces isn't folding. Even if they both call, you're getting 2:1 on a hand that is probably a little more than 2:1 against, and there's no guarantee that all of your outs are clean. So you really couldn't call it a raise for value. Take the free card.
