Double-A
Visionary
Silver Level
You flop a king high flush draw and semi-bluff it. An opponent behind you raises. With his raise the pot is now offering you pot odds of 2.5 to 1. Do you: 1. Call, 2. RAISE, or 3. Fold.
1) Call: I have been advised to only calculate draws in NLHE as "one card to come" (unless you'll be all-in). I think we'd be better off doing that against aggro opponents but using our odds through the river against passive players or guys who'll take one shot and back off. Right?
2) RAISE: I started off playing limit where I'd 3bet here near 100%. I know that's probably too often for a big bet game... under what conditions would it be viable to re-raise here? How much?
3) Fold: I hate to think of this as an option. I like to take shots at pots and semi-bluff. So, I think folding here is bad for my image and gives away too much information. Plus, I want to play my draws like I play made hands. Right? But, we might not be drawing to the nuts, our opponent might be semi-bluffing his nut draw, and we might not get payed off when we hit. Help?
Double-A feels like a lost kitten out in the snow... referring to himself in the third person... with miles to go before he sleeps...
