Re: Betting flush draws into a field OOP
Posting blind.
Shant,
One huge advantage of betting in these spots is to disguise your hand, which allows you to collect more on later streets.
The disadvantage, of course, is a raise that blows away your field and spoils your odds. Since you only need 2 callers to be nearly breaking even, though, the times when this happens are more than offset by:
1. the extra value you gain those times you get 3+ callers.
2. as i said above, the extra money you gain on later streets b/c your hand is disguised.
