Default Re: checking behind with the nut flush draw

i do it alot - when the pot is small, and i really dont want to get c/r off a nice draw.

like... if i was to overlimp A4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] behind one person, blinds check, flop is T 7 2 w/ 2 spades.

sure if checked to you, you can probably pick it up, but if you're c/red you're forced to either fold or pay too much, or if priced in, you call but your hand isn't too well disguised. but if you check it back and another spade hits, you set up a big pot vs a weaker flush (esp if you're aggro and they figure you would've bet a flush draw when checked to)

you can still pick up the pot, too, on 4th if no one improves.

edit to fix the spades -> spade
