Another thing that we might want to add here is whether we are playing cash or a tournament.
If its a tournament and we are playing for our position and we are close to bubbling or we are like 150BB deep and so is villain and we dont want to take the more" gambly" approach we can take the check call line, and only pick it up if we actually hit what we are looking for.
Sometimes the all-in on the flop play is unnecessary if you ask me. In order for this to be worth it, we must be in some kind of desperate situation where we are too short or have no other choice because we know that if we dont shove,villain is probably going to shove and then we will lose our fold equity.
Like in a cash game when both players are like 100BB deep, yes shoving this flop might be a profitable move but due to the fact that we will be getting alot of folds and therefor not getting paid when we actually hit, i think it is better to make abig sized bet on the flop and another one on the turn whether we hit or not and then depending on what kind of a river card comes up, we can decide to act accordingly depending on what range of
hands we put villain on and how likely we think it is that he will be willing to call a river shove(if we actually miss and decide to take it all the way).
another line i like taking in situations like this is to make an almost pot sized bet on the flop and then instacheck turn if i hit so it can look like the made flush scarred me allowing villain to take a stab at it.
I really think it is villain dependant and situation dependant and draws can be played profitably in many ways according to the situation where these monster draws arise.
Does any of this make any sense to anyone?
This is just my opinion.Someone correct me if im wrong or not.
Another very important factor that we must take into account is that we will most likely get paid if we hit our straight draw ,esp if its a wierd gutshot and we are playing a suited one gapper than if we hit our flush because in my opinion villains dont notice straights as much as they notice made flushes.
