how to play a flush-draw?

[PoTsTaR]

if someone calls all-in and i have a flush draw on the flop! what should i do?

[poker_dummy101]

i recommend you googling "pot odds" and "pot odds calculator" familiarize yourself with some of the basics and not just flush draw

[poker_dummy101]

here you go, you can start with this and also check out the calculator.

Depends...pot odds are pretty much what you got to go off.

if u follow proper pot odds...you'll be profitable

like poker_dummy101 said, get to know pot odds. If you feel like you are up against a pair, a simple tool you can use is to multiply your outs on the flop by 4 and that will get your estimated % of hitting your draw and winning the hand. Similarly, multiply your outs x2 on the turn. Of course there are exceptions and other variables, but if you are just beginning that's not a bad place to start.

We need more info, cash game, tourney, villains table image, etc.

call all the time. it doesnt matter if the board is paired twice or if you only have a 3 high flush draw. you must always call.

It all depends. There are many different situations and different ways in which to play a flush draw. I tend to be very aggressive with them on the flop and very passive on the turn if I don't hit. However, if it goes all-in, call, and I am sitting with a flush draw I instant ship the chips in unless I feel very strongly that one of the others have the same flush draw. Worst case scenario you are drawing against a set but with the pot odds I still don't mind that. Often you will be going against one pair and two pair.

However, outside of this instance I would reccomend always raising with a high flush draw on the flop if the image you have is a passive one. You will take down a lot of pots just with the raise and if you hit on the turn a check will almost always throw them off and net you a big pot on the river. You always have to mix it up with flush draws and a lot of it depends on your table image.

a 3 high!! to many times when i have a flush draw and they call they have a higher one

[mrmarket]

Pot odds and fold equity.

This is pretty much terrible advice.You should fold.Betting a flush draw is way better than calling with a draw because fold equity is a major part of playing your draws profitably .The only time you can justify calling with nothing but draws is if you have like kdqd and the flop is 2s10djd.

really hope this is a joke

There's not enough info here. As other have said, pot odds are important. There are other factors too, like if you have an overcard(s), a gutshot or even a runner-runner straight draw. Are there people left to act behind you? What was the preflop action (this will give you insight on the type of hand you're up against)?

of course it was a joke, everyone on here is a dope.

why would you even think that was remotely serious for even a second?? now im more worried about you than the genius that posted the question.

[PoTsTaR]

Thanks for the advice but how about A's high flush draw on the flop? also i like this forum on poker im a big poker head!

[JohnnyDr@ma]

If someone calls all in? Well I guess you can only hope you hit your flush as your money is already in the pot

The answers in this thread have been pretty efficent but yes goggle pot odds and read up on them because they are key to making poker decisions.

If you have a high flush draw and check its like saying you want to lose 48% of the time.
