Re: Flush draw: calling a flop bet, or raising for free card??
[ QUOTE ]
You raise here to get a free card, but also to fold bigger aces. You want to make sure if you hit your Ace you can still win the pot. If you held like 45s on a board with 3 overs, calling would probably be correct.

If the pot is small, it's better to just call and invite the other in, so you win a larger pot when a flush card hits. In a large pot, raising here is good. You then raise to fold out better aces and increase your equity. If called behind, well then the raise was for value.
