imo, the unique thing about limit poker is that, in reality, all hands (except the unbeatable nuts) are essentially draws until all 5 cards are dealt. For example, you have black TT, someone has KhQh, and another has A9. the flop is 9h3h2s. who is charging who in this spot?

Just because there are two to a flush on the board, doesn’t mean that one of your opponents has the flush draw. In this particular case clearly the KQ hand has the best draw, with both two overcards and the flush draw. Still, it is actually the hand with TPTK that has the least equity in this pot. I ran pokerStove on this, and the TT hand has 31.15% equity, the KQ 53.15% and the A9 15.18%. So TT is only making a small mistake by raising here. It would be a bigger mistake if you were heads up with the KQ hand. But you don’t know what your opponent’s cards are. Many times your opponents will not have the flush draw. So I think you still need to raise in this case.
