wait for safe turn with nutstraight?
 

lately i have found myself being outdrawn after playing the nuts fast as in the following hand. a friend of mine is of the opinion that one should wait for a safe turn card before pushing as even if you have nuts now, your hand is still very vunerable to redraws.. thoughts on this?

screw that, there are a ton of turn scare cards and there are many that lose you action too. hands like these are why we have bankrolls.

dont let beats scare you from getting the money in when you have the best of it.. your friend is wrong

here are my thoughts-
tell your friend to STFU

Re: wait for safe turn with nutstraight?
 

Raise more on the flop - say $22

Re: wait for safe turn with nutstraight?
 

lol this isn't limit and you don't know which of the 20 potentially scary cards are actually scary or will just kill your action. POOOOSH

Re: wait for safe turn with nutstraight?
 

Dude, dont listen to these guys.

My philosophy is to check the flop and the turn, and if you still have the nuts on the river, open push. If not, c/c.

I cant begin to tell you how many times my stack has been saved playing like this.

You're not playing PLO. Push it in, biatch.
