Another No Limit Drawing Question

[scrub]

I'm going to go ahead here and speculate that the rush of "easy call" replies came from players with profiles similar to limon, whose posts (which I love) usually reflect the best way to play in a much larger live game with rational opponents.

As someone who has spent a lot of hours playing at the tables in question (a tiny UB NL game), I can tell you that players don't play in ways that make sense. But they do follow some patterns. A lot of players at such tables will push a 3-10 high flopped flush into a tiny pot hoping to "protect their hand." Don't ask me why. Sure, sometimes a set, two pair, or the naked Ace [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is doing the pushing. But often you're looking at a slightly higher flush.

If you've never played at these tables, you can't fathom how poorly the average player plays. If you plan on spending another few hundred hands at the table, you will likely be presented with a number of opportunities to get your stack in as a MUCH bigger favorite. Why get your money in a situation where you're either a moderate favorite or massive dog?
