Re: Everyone who wants to \"charge the flush draws\" PLEASE READ
I have to question this "charge the flush draws" annoyance. Let me know if I'm wrong here.
Doesn't this pertain to the Fundamental Theorem of Poker? If you raise so your opponent is paying too much to ride out a flush draw, then you've gained. That's TOP, if I'm not mistaken.
If I'm playing 5/10, and the pot is $20, and I have top pair (say the Aces from an earlier example) UTG on the flop against a possible flush draw on the button, I'll raise because the pot will have to be $50 for him to correctly call the $10 bet.
If I just call, he's got great odds to call the flush and could possibly raise to get a free card if everyone else calls.
What's wrong with this strategy? I'm not trying to be argumentative ... I really want to know if I've misunderstood.
