NL - Continuation bet with a draw
Typical case scenario, you're playing NL hold'em (cash), and raise to 3 blinds from say the CO, one of the blinds call. Both of you have 100 blinds deep stacks. You flop a flush draw in a flop containing two broadway cards, you have two lower cards. The blind checks, you?
A lot of winning players say this is a good spot for a continuation bet, since even if that doesn't work, you increase the size of the pot, not to mention mix your play up.
I however think it's a best scenario to be able to get out of a hand easily when you're bluffing, and so I would tend to take the free card with a draw like this, so I don't get compromised in putting in a substantial portion of my stack while I'm the underdog.
What do you people think?
