Raise on a flush draw?
I was wondering if anyone knows the general wisdom of what to do when you have a flush draw on the flop and get raised, is this an auto fold?
I had this in an sng tonight where I flat called hoping to see my suit come in , it didn't, then my opponent raised again.
I had very good cause to think he was bluffing. so I flat called again.
I didn't get my flush, we both checked, he paired a 5 on the board and won the hand, so he was bluffing, maybe semi-bluffing I suppose.
Was my mistake not re-raising him straight away, since I thought he was prob bluffing? If I did I am sure he would of folded and if he didn't I would of folded.
As he called first each time I couldn't check. I had been playing vtight till then and had seen him bluff before.
I suspect it would be a bad play to always raise a flush draw unless the conditions were correct. My general idea is to try to get the flush on the cheap then if I do get the flush make it look like I am scared of the 3 suits by checking then if called/raised big raising,usually works well.
