In hold'em any 2-card flush usually wins; just beware with less than a jack high. Full houses are rare but you can tell a lot of the time when somebody makes one.
usually when flop a flush you assume that youve got 9 outs. Well mathematically it scorrect. However, if you reason with yourself it's really wronf of havinh 9 outs. instead of having a percentage of 36% (from the 9 outs) youll really only have about 3-6 outs taking into consideration of your oppoenets cards that have folded preflop in which its a 50 percent chance for each of the players that have folded to have actually folded one of your required outs. so dont alwasy lighten up when you flop a flush draw and do not risk it for the draw if you flop the draw. you see many players often go broke than hit when they risk their draw. Better off just calling pot odds than shovinh it for all .However, their is an exception when your extremely short stacked to under 9 bigblind sor so. If not youll be making a huge mistake which most players would do.
I like to chase flush because when you had a high kicker flush you almost feel your unstoppable and you know nothing can beat you so you start strategizing and I like to bet if i have a flush draw from the flop because i get both the turn and river to hit the flush and plus when i bet on the flop most people fold except one so i have less people to think about. Chasing flushes is always fun lol.
What do you mean by this? You're not saying that a flush draw succeeds over 50% of the time, because I know you know better than that. I think you're saying that if you hold two hearts and make a flush, you usually have the winning hand, whereas if you only have one low heart and there are four on the board, another player often has the higher heart and better flush? Do I understand you correctly?
Yeah, I should have been more clear; you'll usually win when you MAKE your flush and there are only three cards on the board.
Grats on 200 posts by the way.
Use luck to your advantage when necessary.
If you really hit the flush the "large majority" of the time, get me a call so I can put in your buyin to the WSOP. The chance of hitting the flush is only 40%.
Is this correct, James? You're the odds master, but rule of four puts it more in the 36% range. Wizard of odds says 34.97% or 1.86:1. I always shortcut it to 2:1, but it's actually a little bit better than that.
I was playing a freeroll earlier today and got chewed out by a guy for chasing a flush. I had 2 suited cards and 2 more came on the flop. I also had the ace. On the flop, there was only king high. He ended up having a pair of kings with a weak kicker and thought I was a donk for chasing the flush. With outs that included a flush and an ace I don't think it was a donk call at all consider he only min raised it as well...what is there to scare me?
your only a donkey if you have to chase runner runner to get it. 4 flush on the flop and your fine 3 flush on the flop and your not only a donkey but just plain rich. if you can afford to play that way you dont need help or addvise. sorry to be blunt.
