I have been watching alot of high stakes poker on youtube and one thing I just dont understand. Why do players contemplate and sometimes even fold a "weak" flush when there are only 3 suited cards on the board? And yes ofcourse I am talking about a scenario where the board is not paired.......
Why am I so surprised? Because I dont even remember the last time that I lost with a "weak" flush. Yes it has happened to me a very few times but its so rare that I almost consider a flush as nuts if the board isnt paired.
Then there is another problem. When 2 people really do make a flush and someone folds half the time its actually the better flush that folds which makes the whole thing absolutely pointless. To me it really seems like very unprofitable play. For sure if you suspect your opponent also has flush you may just call and not raise but surely you cant fold.
Yes it does happen more often that I see someone else also had suited cards of the same suit but the flush just doesnt happen in those cases it seems.
I have played lots and lots of poker so surely its not that I have been very lucky with this or something?
