re: Poker & How to get max value with flush and straight
With the flopped straight I am raising the flop. A straight is always somewhat vulnerable, and there are cards, that can kill the action, like a 9 or T, which will put out a 1-liner. Its not terrible to postpone the raise to the turn, but I prefer to get money in as fast as possible, especially at a limit like 5NL, where a lot of players will be on the passive side. I love check-raising the turned flush, but when the board pair on the river, the situation is actually a little bit dicy, and I might go into check-call mode or go for a small blocking bet.
