I've been run over by flushes and need help

[gulebjorn]

Really, i need help. It seemed like there was a flush bonus on Pacific today, and i had to pay off everyone who hit one.

So in a multiway pot, i pretty much know when to back off if the flush draw hits. But, shorthanded, i'm really having trouble with this.

Somehow it seems to weak to just give up on a hand every time the flush draw hits the board and i get action. And by action i mean betting and getting raised, being bet into, or just being called down. I've tried everything today, and nothing worked.

I've already posted a desperate cry for help in the probability forum, because i really believe it's been an impossible beating i've taken today. Every board seemed to have a flush draw on it, and every time i was in a hand and the board was coordinated, they made a flush. And i'm not talking about 7-way flops here. It was 2- or 3-handed.

So the question is:

If you and 1 or 2 other players see the flop, it's 2-suited, you bet and they call without odds, the flush draw hits the turn... what do you do.

I mean this in general terms... i know it would differ if you're in position or not etc...

Thx

Call down and fold to huge action? They are making you money in the long run remember, you're just on a bad swing. Flush draws = dogs (most of the time). Especially if more than one is on the draw.
