readless you can't get away from it. you'll see sets enough of the time to call.

Push. You don't want to give a free card for the flush draw, and you'll likely get called by any hand with Ad or any set, and very likely a lot of other hands too.

no way you can get awy from hands like this, especially at these limits, you will find yourself against 2 pair or trips most of the time. a push all in on the flop is the best move, as you dont want another flush card to hit on the turn

Re: 100NL : Flops a flush - anyway to get away?
 

No, that was absolutely fine.

Re: 100NL : Flops a flush - anyway to get away?
 

If I remember correctly, when you flop a flush, there is something like a 1% chance (whatever, it's very low) someone else also flopped a flush. Push.

Correct me, please. Thanks.

"If I remember correctly, when you flop a flush, there is something like a 1% chance (whatever, it's very low) someone else also flopped a flush"

The chance that one specific player has the flush given you got it is 2.59% if the player's hand is random.

A close estimate that somebody besides you have the flush is 1-(1-0.0259)^3=7.6%.

Still, I think chances are big that your opponent has 2 pairs, set, flush draw, or one pair with flush draw.

Go for it. Push.

Push it. Smile when he rolls over jq or a set. Very seldomly he rolls over a bigger flush.

Re: 100NL : Flops a flush - anyway to get away?
 

thanks...
I pushed and he had 9d3d - oh well...

Re: 100NL : Flops a flush - anyway to get away?
 

Tough break. I would push also.... and would think we're ahead against a majority of villains.

All very well saying that, but my thoughts when I see he has a set or a draw to a better flush are always "He's gonna outdraw me...." [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I save the smiling until it holds up....
