Hey folks.
So I ran into a lot of odd situations last night against really aggressive players, and it resulted in a pretty big mess for me in the end.
Basically, I'm wondering how aggressively I should be pursuing draws. Here's an example from my session last night, for instance. (I'm at work, no hand history right now, sorry.)
Villian and I are both deep stacked at about $4 each at 2NL (So, 200bb). Villian is pretty loose (~45 VP). I'm in position.
I'm holding KhQh.
Flop comes down QsJhTh.
So I've got top pair, a open-end straight draw and a king-high flush draw.
At this point villian shoves all-in.
Is this a hand you'd pursue given the stack sizes, or just lay it down and fight another day? I know about pot odds and such, but against an aggressive player like this I'd pretty much never play a draw ever if I went by just the pot odds calculation.
It should come as no surprise that I lost a lot of hands like this last night (Draws with tons of outs in big pots) and lost a lot of cash in the process. I know not to chase things like inside straight draws, but I'm inclined to go after bigger draws like this.
