Default Re: Implied Odds Question - Flush Draw

interesting line, pokey, definitely the biggest factor is the fold equity. Also I'm sure this will work for TAG much better than LAG. Since TAG have more credibility.

Okay, we kind of derailed this post. As far as implied odds for the hand, I definitely would not call the turn bet. You already used your implied odds for the flop. So in a sense, you are oweing money from the odd from the flop, now to justify a call on the turn, you must "owe" more money to your odds. The biggest problem here is that even if you do hit your flush, you can't bet big on the river because you aren't sure you got the nuts. Maybe your opponent is on a ace high flush draw also, now you just cost yourself a TON. Therefore, to even call the flop, you didn't have the right implied odds. It might be okay to call it for -EV for the purpose of not making a fool out of yourself for betting, but the turn call is just asking for a leak.

Even with ace high flush draw, you don't necessarily want to draw for it every time. They are just very good semi-bluff opportunity but without the implied odd(amount of action villian is willing to give you) to draw, it's not worth it.
