Re: How to deal with big draws
With the pot now being at 675 and you only have to call for 150, your getting pot odds of 4.5 - 1, and your on a flush draw giving you odds of 4 - 1 which means the correct move is to call.
The real worry here is the button is yet to act |

I don't think the correct answer is to fold, but I'm not sure if I should just call or raise, and if raise, by how much? |

Re: How to deal with big draws
Definitely do not fold. Calling is an option, but then you may be faced with a difficult decision if the turn bricks and the villain bets out again this time say more then half the pot.
I think raising to 375-450 range is good. If villain folds you take down a good pot, if he calls then he may check the turn giving you many options to bet or check then. If villain re-raises all-in on your flop raise you may want to call, I would. This also depends on how tight/aggressive villian has been playing. |

Anyone consider pushing here?

Re: How to deal with big draws
Im pushing here most of the time, two overcards, a gutshot and second nut flushdraw is a nice hand.

Re: How to deal with big draws
Pushing isn't as strong as, say, raising to 500 and then pushing the turn.

Re: How to deal with big draws
Alright, I think I liked adanthar's line, and that's what I ended up doing, sort of. I raised to T450, thinking I could possibly get the button to fold a mediocore hand that may end up beating me if a K/J hits and we check to the showdown, get some more defenition on the SB's hand, and possibly get a free card on the river.
That seems like a strong combination and argument for raising to T450/500 instead of going all in. So, here's what ended up happening: [ QUOTE ] Middle stages of a party 33.

This is perfect for a call [/ QUOTE ] Call? calling does not put the button all in and leaves you with 400 left... either push or fold |
