just a note to n00bs:

when you have a 2 card flush, i NEVER put someone else on a flush draw. It's just too rare, and you'll win more when they DONT than you'll lose the few times that they DO. That said, 3 bet this mofo. For each time you lose to a higher you'll win with a flush much more.

No.

Don't make broad, sweeping generalizations like this one. Certainly, having flush over flush is rare, but you should constantly be evaluating what kinds of hands your opponent has and how his actions and reactions further narrow the scope of his hand range.

Furthermore, player types have every thing to do with this analysis. If the most loose passive player comes completely alive on a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] board and doesn't slow down on the turn, then you have to start thinking about getting to showdown and/or collecting the equity that you make by raising him by going for overcalls.

Saying, "Never put your opponent on a higher flush" is a relative (and getting dangerously close to being), "Fit or fold".

Later.
