Default Re: An instructive SSNL hand: How much to charge a flush draw

At the lower limits that I play a lot, if I have a set or nut straight and suspect someone has a flush draw against me, I will move in immediately almost every time. If I have top pair I would have to be pretty sure I wasn't actually beaten, but if I become convinced that someone is drawing to a flush, I will move in no matter how ridiculous an overbet this is. You will surprised how often they call anyway with just the flush draw no matter how terrible the odds they are getting. Most people at the low limits will call ANY bet with a flush draw. Also, I have had the strange overbet called by suspicous PP and second pair hands as well. I guess against better players, this might not work so well, but most low limit players are going to the felt with 4 to a flush, so I simply take it all the way quickly and try to make their play a terrible mistake. This is just what I have been playing with lately, but I get called a ton in these spots.
