Re: 2/4 Flop big draw, get raised, plan ?
[ QUOTE ]
Against a very tight player who would only raise you here with a set, then you should just call so that you can release if the turn pairs the board. But against other players who could equally be raising with a draw to try to force you out when they put you on AA, then you should indeed push. Even then, someone with a similar draw and a pair could win a big pot off you with 1 pair when 2 blanks come, so playing it more softly is a legitimate option.

I don't see why calling and leaving yourself with 155 in a $450 pot, and then folding on the turn if it pairs is the better play then just pushing. Now what if you just call and the turn doesn't pair but doesn't improve you what do you do now? Just push, or call his push? By just calling you have given yourself a new decision to make. Pushing here should get somebody to lay down top two and maybe even bottom set. And it doesn't give the opponent the opportunity to fold on the turn if the flush or straight gets there.
