Did the flush draw play this hand right?
$50 NL Hold'em on Empire. No real read on either player in this hand. I'm relatively new to NL but I've done well at both the $25 and $50 NL tables. I'm interested in the thoughts of how the flush draw played this hand on every street.
Stack sizes for the players in this hand - seat 7 was the button: Seat 1: Villain ( $29.5 ) Seat 4: Flush Draw ( $95.42 ) Seat 6: HERO ( $165.4 ) Dealt to HERO KhKc Villain raises [$3]. Flush Draw calls [$3]. HERO raises [$12]. Villain calls [$9]. Flush Draw calls [$9]. I assume that Flush Draw called here since he was getting 3-1 odds on a hand that could hit big with the right flop. I think my raise has represented a big pocket pair which is what I wanted. Was my preflop raise too big? Should I be happy to take the pot right then? Is this a standard call by Flush Draw? ** Dealing Flop ** [ 7d, 6d, 8c ] Villain is all-In [$17.5] Flush Draw calls [$17.5]. HERO is all-In [$153.4] I thought my reraise would get FLUSH DRAW out of the pot but I guess he was priced in getting 2-1 on a hand that will hit roughly 50% of the time if he correctly assumes he has the nut flush draw of the three players in the pot. Is the all-in call correct? I have pushed all-in when first to act with a K high flush draw and two overcards but I have some folding equity in that situation. I guess my question is should I be making calls like this to increase my win rate? Risking $66 to win $218 with a 50% chance of winning seems like the right move. Thoughts? Villain shows [ Ks, Ah ] a pair of eights. Flush Draw shows [ Jd, Qd ] a flush, queen high. HERO shows [ Kh, Kc ] two pairs, kings and eights. |

Re: Did the flush draw play this hand right?
I'm not the best odds expert on this forum... but the flush draw is, at best, %38 favorite. If all three players were all in, I think his gamble would be ok. (this doesn't include the times when there will be a higher flush or if someone gets a boat)
If he knew you were going to reraise, I'd say he wasn't getting good odds. |

raise more preflop, flop looks good, his call is probly ok also.

Re: Did the flush draw play this hand right?
yep, he was marginally correct to call that. I've made the same call when I played lower limits but these days, I wouldn't just because the variance is a MF . I guess he doesn't mind it but he will once he misses 2 or 3 all-ins in a row.
