I get that you have straight possiblitites (.32% to flop it and 11.2% chance to flop a gut shot) and I get that you have nut flushes sometimes (.84% chance to flop it and 10.9% to flop a draw).
But they're also super easily dominated by higher aces. You can't be sure that hitting an ace on the flop is safe.
So my question is why do people include them in their hand ranges (and even in their tight hand ranges) and why do people raise aggressively with them? What is the purpose? Is it for value or a bluff? Are people hoping to flop a flush draw?
Thank you/
