Even heads ups or multi way is it beter to milk it,Or take the pot down or give shity odds just wondering.. Played a live tourney yesterday and had alot of monster hands but always was draws out so did-int get paid off huge.
But made a final table :P with 7 tables placed 7th.

And also when is it okay to chase a draw now adays everyone gives horrible odds to chase draws so do we never play them or what?

I dont play turneys so...

But for me with cash games...

Odds of them hitting that flush are 1.9:1
obv. position is key
so If I play it aggressively IP, Ill win the pot almost twice as many times.
Once to cancel out his wins, and .9 for profit.

But since I'm playing IP I think I can "win the most/lose the min." more than him, so it gives me a bigger edge.

Calls, raises, draws. Odds man Odds. Pot eqiuty, fold equity. IP, OOP. Your playing with fire.

Of course a million things can be written on the subject. Or ... Have been written. So what do I know? Not much.

You want to size your bets so that it's a mistake for villain to call you.
ie. on a 2-tone flop, say J-T-4 with AJ you'll want to cbet ~3/4pot (tourney play)
