Re: THE FLUSH

[ QUOTE ]
Is there any here who NEVER draws to the non-nut flush? At the nanos and micros, it seems as if some most people will do anything to complete any flush.
My opponent-reading is not excellent yet, but as a strict rule I don't go for a flush unless it is Ace-high.

This is a bad rule. If you hold a flush, the odds your opponent does decreases significantly. You should of course proceed with caution without the nuts, but folding all but the nut flush is terribly nitty. You're leaving a lot of value out there.

it's also an awful play because that means you're probably playing suited aces pretty frequently and are neglecting suited connectors. does this mean you call raises OOP with A4d to chase a flush? or what? if you're playing a hand that you would typically play, like a 78s, are you just going to muck when the flush hits? or not count flush outs as real outs? the statistical probability of someone having a better flush even if you have 23s is so small, and the odds of them having a set or 2 pair or something that will pay you off is much higher.
