a variation of this, is that one of the blinds is your main opponent. you've got the flush draw on the flop, and you beat the card thats not an ace on the flop. check the turn here everytime, or can you bet and fold to a chkraise to some opponents?

Bet this. You're ahead more often than not. Charge him to hit a flush. If check-raised, I'd base my play on my read of the player....

I'm new to SH, so maybe my views aren't the most trustworthy. Still, hopefully I'll add something to the discussion =)

I see it as a clear bet. If you get raised, you have to consider if your opponent has an ace, if he's semi-bluffing/bluffing or if he really thinks his pair or sevens are goot.

edit: Well. I got beat to the point since I was playing HU with a friend.

With the flush draw there, I'm betting this the majority of the time. You can't really put CO on an A here too because most people would open raise with it PF (though you don't give any reads). You lose too much value from checking this turn through. Bet and call to a showdown if raised.

Bet and sans-read fold to a checkraise. Some opponents are aggressive enough that I need to get to showdown, either by calling a checkraise on the turn and calling a (hopefully non-[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) river, or by checking the turn and calling a river bet or betting the river if checked to.

But those are exceptions, I'm generally just betting this turn and kind of hoping CO just folds there. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] People peel on the flop with all kinds of nonsense. I know I do.

Bet. As previously stated, most people wouldn't open-limp from the cutoff with an A.
