What is the best decision?
After the flop I need just one card to flash. Should I bet showing that I don't have any cards or just give the table hoping to get it right?

In poker, whether to bet or check when you have a flush draw after the flop depends on factors like your hand strength, pot odds, and opponent behavior. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but consider these factors to make an informed decision based on the specific game situation. Also, when you explain a hand you need to give more infos...

Overall i think checking with a flush draw is better than betting with nothing.

Betting is always good because you have a chance of your opponent folding. If they don’t fold you can still win by sucking out or bet the river if you miss and hope they fold. If your opponent never folds then checking is not a bad play. Good luck!

Hi :)
It is simply impossible to give you a specific answer. There are different situations, different tournaments, different opponents. Your actions should take into account many factors in each specific situation. There is no one-size-fits-all scenario, each time your decision may be different.
Good luck :)

If you are up against calling stations there is almost never correct to semi-bluff (unless you have some super strong combo draws or are in some multiway situations with great equity) since they fold so rarely.

If you are up against tight weak players your folding equity goes up and they rarely pay you off when you hit so the semi-bluff goes up in value.

There is no right answer in poker, it depends on the occasion, the villain, the right moment, that's why poker is so good!

It depends on many factors , your position in the tournament , the behaviors and the play of your opponents , pot odds , but i do prefer to check waiting for the right card to show up.

It all depends on the local situation. It's hard to know what to do. It's a competition that relies on luck, so try not to worry too much about the results.

There are many factors that will influence the decision - stacks, position, aggressiveness of the opponent, stage of the tournament,,,

True, it depends on the situation, but it would be logical not to risk anything, possibly a bet to check possible villains

I also think that there is no correct answer, it will always depend on some factors. If it's too risky, wait, if you feel comfortable at the table, bet.
