When you know someone is drawing to a flush on flop

#1 11-14-2005, 02:01 AM

So here's the deal. NL holdem. Let's say you flop trips and know you currently have the nuts, but another player bets all in (he has twice your stack) and you know (don't worry about how you know, you just know this player) that he is on a flush draw. He needs one more spade to come on either of the last two streets. Do you call?

why did u post this? this is so results oriented its sick. i call even if i dont think its possible he pushes without a made hand...

And I did. As you can tell I'm slightly still stinging from the bad beat. (I know, I know.)

I'm just trying to decide if I should factor in a god-hates-me negative EV.

Don't worry, you're racking in the Sklansky bucks. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Losing to a flush with two streets to come isnt a bad beat. It sucks that the opponent won, but it isnt a bad beat.

he's means because it's very typical to be drawn out on in NL and it can be very costly. if you can't hand that aspect or can't get used to it NL might not be for you. You learn to stomach it with the proper roll and time tho

I call this every day and twice on Sundays and I expect to lose 30% or so of the time. If that bothers you there are plenty of fish in the limit ocean.
