Double flush draw

[GAL]

Villan seems like a total donk, seen him call down with 88J3 on a 9T694 board, but no real reads as I've just sat down.

I bet about $120. Checking behind is ultimate vag play, you have a gutshot and two very very good flush draws, you have 18 outs here most of the time and don't want to lose your customer on the river when you hit.

I might bet less because 99% of the time the donk raise on the flop is a set or worse flush draw.

bet, I'd do about 2/3 of the pot.

I bet but I bet full pot. Why are all of you advocating betting less than pot? Pls help.

[TheRempel]

Because you really really want him to call when he is drawing.

[GAL]

Jesus, I've never even considered this concept. Tnx for the info.

Betting about 2/3 prices out sets and two pairs and possibly make 2/5 very difficult to call.


If he calls, some combination including a flush draw that you can get implied odds out of is very likely, which is the precise situation you want.

2/3 pot also lets you reserve enough ammo to pull a possible bluff on river.
