Default Drawing hand question?

I know I am supposed to fold for two bets on the flop since only one of my suit came, but can I call just one?

Also, how many "outs" do I have if only one of my suit came on the flop? 4.5?

What kind of draw? How big is the pot? I have seen situations where it would be correct to draw at a gutshot straight for 2 bets.

3 to the flush is worth about the same as 1.5 outs on the flop.

Cooker is right in that we'd need more information to tell you whether it's correct to draw to any hand for two bets.

For example, with loose-agressive opponents, calling two bets with something like AhKh on a flop of 2s7hTc when the pot is already 9 BB is a good thing. Calling two bets with 6s5s on a flop of AsKhTh against tight-passive opponents when there is only 1.5 BB in the pot is a bad thing. Most three-flush situations lie between the two, and learning where to draw the line is part of learning poker.

Ditto...perfect example here!

The true answer as always is....it depends!
