Nut flush draw from the blinds

[DanTheCardMan]

Suppose I'm dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the BB

What would I do preflop in a multiway pot at a typical table? Raise to give myself the best drawing odds if the flush hits, or check to get away from my hand easily if it doesn't come?

Flop comes T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Now what? Bet out, check/call, or check/raise?

What about 4th st under each of the different scenarios?

I assume the river play would be rather mechanical (bet out if the flush is made, check/call if the flush is made against an aggressive post-flop player if the board pairs, check/fold if the flush doesn't come).

Your thoughts?

You raise because you are likely ahead and can capitalize on your opponents preflop mistakes. You are getting overlay with a premium hand.

Flop comes T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

If check too, surely bet.

After that, it really depends on the number of opponents you have and the actions they take.
