Not putting in several raises with a nut flush because you are worried about a straight flush would be a huge leak. I might not go to the felt, but It would take 7 or 8 raises (limit) before I would even think about calling. Straight flushes are so rare that you will cost yourself more by being afraid of them than you will by putting lots of money in the pot on the rare occasions when they are really there. Most of the time you will be shown a 2nd nut (or worse) flush.

If you have the nut flush and a strait flush is possible: YOU DON'T HAVE THE NUTS!

Is queen high ever the nuts?

You ignored recognizing when the nuts are on the board, which seems to be a very common mistake.

The nuts are never on the board, unless it's a broadway rainbow straight, royal flush, four of a kind + an ace, or four aces + a king.

I've seen so many folds with broadway on the board, and a few with quads+tk. I've only seen a royal on the board once, and nobody was dumb enough to fold. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think I go through this process intuitively. Anyway, you left out straights and you ignored straight-flushes that come up on boards like 2c8c9cQc2d (you started from the lowest card on board, in reality, the question should be "Are there 3 cards of the same suit within 4 ranks of each other" instead of the thing about adding 4 to the lowest).

Also, your full house thing is wrong if the pair is the card of highest rank on board, like on the board AA347, the nut full house is A7, not 77.

I look forward to your book. Will you be coming up with a simple way to memorize hand rankings?

Consider this one:

What's the lowest possible nuts in holdem, after all the board cards are dealt?
