In the interest of the readers and discussion participants, and due to lack of discussion in first part of “ Flop I “ , I am posting the second part of the Flop discussion a day early. If participation or lack there of dictates, I will do the same with “ Flop II “. Thank you all for a meaningful and enlightening discussion thus far.

Here it is.

I'm still confused how to handle two-suited flush draws when you are first to bet and don't have the nut flush. When do you raise and when do you check?

[Billy Zee]

Hiya's,

I personally take 3 things into consideration.

1. If I hit my FD, will it hold up .
2. How is the betting going ? ( Pot odds )
3. Do I have any other outs besides FD .

As a rule , I don't often raise at present to a FD alone unless it will be the NF.

Regards,
Billy Zee
