The Flush and how its played

I have been playing online for four years now. I amazed at how many people will play any two suited cards as if they are the golden hand of the gods. I have been wondering if this more common at just the lower stakes and do better players at higher stakes tend be more conservative with any two suited cards. Now I know this all relative to the what is happening in the game at that time. But still It seems to me that people just lose their heads in that situation. I not talking Aces with K,Q, J and so forth, but I see people playing cards like 7-2, 10-3, J-4 and so on. Can I get some other players thoughts on this.

I think that yes indeed players at higher stakes will play flush draws fast. But prolly not spazzing like the examples you made.

But I know exactly what you talking about.

BTN opens. 1 fold, I 3bet from BB w AsQs.

BTN calls.

FLOP: Qd Qh 3d

BB bets, BTN shoves, BB calls

BTN shows 9d3d and takes my money when the river hits.


SUCKS!! I dont feel like Ive been outplayed there. I feel like the fish got lucky.

But usually I´m happy when I get someone like this on my table. He will pay you more often then he got the lucky punch. When you know that he plays like this, you have to play aggressiv when a draw is outside and he will pay you in a long term.

Ive seen it as high as 470 dollar buy in, and just read gus hansen book and he raises with these types of hands, So yes i think we will always see someone fliping Q7s, over at the end of a hand. Defending aginst it at the low levels, is kind of impossible, as stated above a paired board= opp shoves, on flush draw. I believe he'd even called if opp had ckraised. (you shouldn't draw for flushes with a paired board). Thats kinda hard, all you can do is bet enough to make their odds for drawing wrong, and if they push on the draw, then if you have two pair, or a set, i call for sure- as you have some out if its a bad turn, and you could turn him dead as well. For other hands (top pair, over pair)thats on you to decide. To me it depends on how much the pot is to my stack, current blind level, thoughts on my opp, etc..
