Re: Betting flush draws into a field OOP
[ QUOTE ]
Betting is fun. Winning unimproved when someone peels the flop and decides to give up on the turn is fun. Winning with turned middle pair more fun still. Winning with a J-high flush when the turn/river come running hearts and the naked K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] folded to your flop bet is more fun still. Having other players call a similar flop when you hit bottom two and they have a suspicious pair and they remember that you bet 4-flushes OOP is also fun. Same when they decide to punish you and raise TP when you flop a set and they can't figure out how much action to give you so then end up spraying like a donk. So is being hard to read. Something about EV and equity too, but I like the fun stuff.

Great post, well said. I think in a lot of small stakes games, especially live, worrying about someone raising your bet and driving out the rest of the field is probably something that's overstated here.
