Default Re: A problem I have with flush draws. PP 2/4 Hand

Bet the flop. Why? Because you cannot intend to check raise the flop if no one has raised preflop.

If the SB bets the flop, simply call. If someone in early position bets the flop, and a few people call, you should raise.

If a late position player bets the flop, you should just call.

The idea is to attempt to get as many opponents to put in two bets on the flop as possible. Raising right away if the SB bet for example would be bad, since the other opponents would then have to call two bets and would likely fold.

On the turn, you should NOT bet. Just check / call. The turn is more expensive and your odds are going down when you put money in the pot.

The river - you may just want to call the raise instead of 3-betting, since you have a Ten high flush and the A,K,Q, or J high flush beats you.
