Default PL1000 Flush Draw: Flop and Turn Play

Villian in the hand is Anderz0ne. Pretty aggressive player, from what ive seen he could be raising with a set/2pair or air. Is pushing the flop a better option than calling and pushing the turn if a spade hits?

Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Hero ($973.75)
SB ($276.75)
BB ($5034.5)
UTG ($400)
MP ($2544.75)
CO ($226)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $5.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $30</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $20.

Flop: ($65) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $50</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $213</font>, Hero calls $163.

Default Re: PL1000 Flush Draw: Flop and Turn Play

IMO, it's pretty tough to play a flush draw against one opponent since: (a) you're not likely to get paid off if you hit, &amp; (b) you usually aren't getting the correct odds to chase, even if you have the benefit of position.

In this hand, however, seems like villian has gained a nice stack by playing aggressively. Since you wouldn't be surprised if he had two pair/set or a weaker draw/air, I prefer the push (with two cards to come + folding equity) over a fold . And the fold over a call.

btw- are we ever gonna see any results from some of your earlier hands/posts?
