I'm absolutely stunned we're a dog against a naked nut flush draw. My play was based on getting it heads up against a set if one is out and forcing out the flush draw.
I still think going for the coin flip vs. set is ok, but really any other flush draw just kills you.
Very interesting post.

But as you said, if you're heads up against nut flush draw, especially if it's got something with it, pair or straight outs, then you are a tremendous dog.

But if you are an optimist then this is what you're hoping for.
The more I study plo, the more complex I realize it is.
