When you flop a flush draw with a straight draw.
How do you play it?
The way I see it you can either:
Shove if there's a good sized pot already and either take the pot down without a fight or be a small favourite to win a huge pot. This has the advantage of folding out hands that are ahead of you (bigger flush/straight draws).
Check/Call and draw to it knowing that it's probably going to get ugly on the turn by which stage you wont often have improved you hand and your chances of making your hand by the river will be low, limiting the size of a bet that you can call to see the river. There is the disadvantage here that when you make your hand, you may not get paid off very well.
I've recently adapted to check/calling if I'm drawing to the nuts, hoping to catch someone with a smaller draw and shoving if there's enough money in the pot for it to be worth it but only if I'm drawing to a small flush/weak straight.
I'm posting this because a lot people definately play these hands differently to the way I do, and I wouldn't mind hearing some opinions on how best to play it.
