Four to the nut flush

[Spikelad]

What do you guys think is the correct strategy when you flop four to an ace high flush.In a cash game i usually go all-in with this hand and take my chances. My mate reckons over a period of time this is a losing play and i would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Re: Four to the nut flush Assuming your opponent has never flopped a flush or has any of your flush outs you will improve to by the river around 35% of the time so yes it is a losing play as a general rule

Re: Four to the nut flush Pot size comes into it and so the fact that sometimes your opponent will fold a better hand when you shove all in fearing he is drawing dead. That said my approach is very read depend but faced with a all in bet a generally give up on the hand unless getting 2 to 1 post flop

It's about a coin flip if you're vs 1 pair plus some fold equity plus they can be getting in with lower draws plus if you have some back-door straight equity it all adds up to never being too bad to get it in on the flop unless you're up against a nit in which case they only get it in with 2pair plus where you're about 35% at best. All opponent dependant as usual.
