    How to play a Flush Draw?

    in Poker

    Posted

    Re: How to play a Flush Draw? Of course there are situations when you may fold AKs. If someone raised then someone went all in after them, then it was you to act and the stacks were deep - I would fold. Along with a few other circumstances. But not in the circumstance above the raise wasnt even 10% of the stack, could be raising with any number of hands.

    Re: How to play a Flush Draw?

    Your only mistake I can see was calling pre-flop. Had you gone all-in there, TT would have assumed you had a better pocket pair and probably folded. That was where you gave away the fact that you had a beatable hand. His relatively small raise shows he was dubious anyway.
    Tfalbb - this is not what you should do at all, why you would want to go all in here is beyond me. Youd be in a race situation at best if he called and theres not enough in the pot pre flop to justify an all in, especially with a deep stack. You have position in the hand and the raise is acceptable. Take a flop.
    1) before the flop the guy raised before you, give him respect and fold even though you have AK
    Meatman - There is NO WAY you are going to fold AKs to a normal raise pre flop. To do this youd have to KNOW he had AA and I cant see how you can. To be fair though your third option is cool. I dont mean to be all this is right and this is wrong, cos in no limit theres lots of different things you can do. But these two examples are not two of them!

    Re: How to play a Flush Draw? Your smooth call pre flop here was fine, I would have done the same thing. You have position and AKs is a drawing hand. On the flop his bet was very weak indicating a strong hand (played badly) or just a poor player hoping youll fold or someone drawing. Your raise was reasonably strong and he had to have a good hand to call you which often he wouldnt. Also many times he would just call here and check to you if the turn hadnt helped him and you could take a free river card at a big pot. Of course an alternative (and one I would use early in a tourny most likely) would be just to call this very weak bet of 60. He is giving you 7.5/1 odds on hitting your flush and I know and you know this is value for the nut flush draw. If you dont hit on the turn see what he does next and you can get away cheap or draw again if he puts in an equally weak bet. This way you are not jeopardising your entire existence in this tournament on a draw (its hardly ever correct to go out without a made hand in a tourny). However the semi bluff raise you made was an aggressive viable option. Once he goes all in over the top you have to give him credit here for a quality made hand IMO. Expecting set of tens perhaps (easy to say now) but much more likely a big pair such KK or AA. In this spot you know you are more or less at best a 2/1ish shot. The best you can really hope for is QQ which is a very possible call as you have the overcards BUT how you could specifically put him on this is extremely fishy. I think the pot was 1890 to you with 900 to call (but basically calling for the tournament if you lose). So youre basically getting abolsute true odds for your draw if he has a big pair. I notice the blinds were only at 10/20 and you would still have 900 if you fold. This is why I would have folded to that all in. You can still come back wihtout a doubt, you are nowehere near being a short stack at this stage in the tournament. Id fold and wait for a made hand to get my money in on.

    Re: Vegas report Nice to see you about again mate! :clap I, for one, am hoping you didnt flop the nut straight too many times whilst you were away. Too many and people just think youre cheating. Also I wanna hear many a story about check raising the locals and pulling off many a delayed bluff with 56s

    Re: Littlewoods free money It almost certianly will say in the T&C that you cant play roulette just doing black/red etc to turn over the bonus. However blackjack will be fine. Blackjacks a better bet anyway. You can get a perfect startegy card from somewhere on the net and just play according to that. Its basically a coin flip anyway. Like AKs vs 22 preflop each go of blackjack (equivalent) ;) However in asnwer to your question, no there is no guaranteed way to turn it over without losing it (though Blackjack gives you a perfectly sporting chance). And yes there are many other sites offering similar bonuses, for example William Hill and Coral.

    Re: Adjusting to new Poker sites... Of course thats a bitch when it does happen but IMO id want to be involved in games were players called all ins with A5o. In the long run youd rake it in. I guess it depends whether you play poker for profit AND fun or JUST fun though. If I were playing purely for fun I probably would want to eliminate these types of poor plays and be involved in a more 'proper' game. But in the interests of long run financial gain I cant see how you can go wrong with having poor players in your games.

    Re: Adjusting to new Poker sites... Hehe you musta picked one of those speed game ones mate :lol Sorry misread about pacific/paradise. Either way in mine and most others opinions those are two of the not as good sites I would say. I used to go Ladbrokes all the time (theyre software is the best IMO) but I now mainly use William Hill. Its easy there and the players are of the weakest standard overall IMO. :ok
