Okay I have a little more to go by now. Oh, and I said this before too but use a hand converter and post some
hands? Talking hypotheticals can only get you so far.
Lets say your in the BB and there are no raises behind you, your holding suited cards, what would you do?
Raise it knowing you will end up getting called.
Check the hand, and see were you stand post flop.
Or fold, even tho you are getting a cheap view of the flop.
Short answer: You probably need about ATs+, KQs to raise.
This highly depends on opponent ranges (what proportion of hands they play), but running a stove with 3 opponents who play 30% of their hands (and we'll assume they don't have QQ+ because there is no raise and the most passive of people raise QQ+). Note that we are out of position so we need a little more
equity to raise.

Here is a bit more info, one of the ones in the hand plays at .10/.20, and you pick up that he is c-betting, and does not hit, or he has been bluffing well on the button...
C-betting means someone preflop raised then was the first one to bet on the flop. Here this is not possible. I'm going to assume it's checked to the button who bets.
Now on the flop he c-bets.... now theres an ace plus you got your draw, would you call to see one more card, or fold?
Cards you hold 24SS....
I have ran it to this spot many times and always tend to fold, not call coz i am out of position, how would you deal with it ?
Short answer: Peel (call) the flop, turn is more complicated but most likely a peel. (Note: if you hit the turn, play it aggressive with a hand like 2s4s because other people probably have a redraw with higher single spades and you don't want to let them draw for free)
This is all about pot odds. In general, if you have a flush draw. You should almost always peel the flop. You have a 9/47 chance to hit your flush on the turn and if there are 5 small bets in the pot (4 limpers + the button flop bet), you are getting 5:1 to call (and probably many more from the people behind you as well as on the turn and river). In general, I like to have 6:1 implied odds (the amount of money you expect to be able to make for the entire hand) on a flush draw to continue. Turn should be the same kind of thinking.
