Default Re: Tell me about...raising draws

I do it often.

Definitely combo draws. With 12 or more outs I want to bet big on the flop to maximize fold equity. The draw is just a backup plan.

With a weak FD I will fold OOP. I generally try to play smaller pots if I am OOP. If I have a combo draw I would like to get AI on the flop so I don't have to play OOP.

Getting called depends on board and villain. On an A-high board I ofter put villain on TP and assume he would raise with better on a drawy board. If he'll fold to a second barrel I might bet. I might take a free card in position.

Betting draws works against players that fold. Don't better non-combo draws against calling stations. They'll call you after you hit so just wait to see if you do.

Board texture needs to give me a draw. Even better if it is unlikely to have hit villain and he isn't the type to float with overcards etc...

No. But raising c-bets with draws is +EV.
