Pumping strong draws on the flop

Guitierez · #1 07-09-2007, 10:36 AM

Here are two spew-suspicious hands where I was capping on the come. The table was normally loose for these stakes, I saw a lot of coldcalling before. I flopped two strong draws with 12+ outs, and was conscious of my equity edge. What do you think, was it OK to shovel my value-added Sklansky-bucks into the pot?

I remember milesdyson in this outstanding thread saying: your share is not 1/(# players in hand). that is the absolute best case. Important is the number after the flop betting round, so raising is only right if it doesn't kick opponents out.
