Re: (X-Post) Is it ok to check to a Flush Draw?
Personally, I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is the size of the pot relative to the size of the stacks. With a weak 1 pair hand, you don't want to build a pot where 1/3-1/2 of your chips are going to be going in on the river. You're better off paying the guy off or folding in a smaller pot. Decisions are more important in big pots. If you don't have a big pot hand, don't build a big pot where a river decision is hard. If that means letting a guy draw cheap, ok. Be less inclined to pay him off for his original risk when the pot is small. You should be willing to give up on small pots more easily than large ones. I'm not saying you should let yourself get run over, but that you shouldn't go to war over 5BB.
