Should I call off all my chips with heart draw?

[redCashion]

The table was quite aggressive. And there was one player I was targeting due to the fact that he had called off all his chips to me with a pair of sixes the previous day (though unfortunately he wasn't in this hand).

I figured I was up against I guy with a marginal top pair like holding, who was trying to isolate against the small stack. But I'm not used to calling off all of my chips on a draw. What would you do?

Fold preflop. You don't want to play an speculative hand OOP.

Fold flop both times. You're not getting correct odds to draw to this flush either time so just fold. You don't need to play every draw you flop.

Instant muck...you are up against two made hands with only 9 outs.

I was playing speculative hands only because of the make-up of the table. My stats are about 21/8/2 so I am fairly tight. But the implied odds were that any time I hit my hand I was going to stack someone.

I also usually muck my draws when they get expensive, but I thought I was getting almost 2:1 (25 into a 40 dollar pot) here with when I'm drawing at about 3:2 so I thought that was good?

Also, the original 3.40 call, I've heard as as rule of thumb (Gavin Smith from the Circuit mentioned this) that when up against 2 opponents calling up to pot sized bets on a flush draw is pricing you in. Am I mistaken there? Is there a rule of thumb on flush draws?

Your odds of hitting the flush with 9 outs are about 1.85:1 (somebody correct me if I'm wrong). You are getting 2.27:1. So the call would be good, but only if your opponent does not have hearts. But what changes this into a bad call is the big stack left to act after you.

Edit: i am talking about the first call here.

This is true, but only if you are last to act.
