Ax suited on a two flush board

[eagle jim]

This is not a particular hand history question, just a general question. If we hold Ax suited on a flop which has two of our suit, giving us 4 to a nut flush, is it +EV to shove, assuming the board is not paired at that point. Just a thought from a hand which came up in a sweat session. Obviously we are only going to complete the flush ~34% of the time. I know this is a really random general question but I would appreciate your thoughts.

Also would it depend on your position at the table and what the other players in the hand did post flop assuming you were in position to act after them.

That's just a ridiculously general question. It depends on a ton of factors and you can't just give a 'correct' answer to it. The size of the pot, the size of our stacks, the action leading to that point, our opponent's stats and tendencies, our image, the texture of the board, etc etc etc

and that answers my question. I just had someone I was playing against today that shoved every flop with two cards to a flush showing....didn't make sense to me.......new strategy I guess.

Jim, I wouldn't really call it a "strategy". It's more just the fact that the person doing that just happens to love chasing draws and either has had extreme luck hitting them or is delusional to the odds of it hitting.

I did't mean it was a "strategy", I meant it was his and for a few rounds he bullied the table, then he got stacked a couple times and left. Hopefully the fishie will come back.
