Default Re: Stack off with flopped flush?

FYP. There are no thumb rules in poker. You could techincally fold a straight flush if your opponents range clearly only consists of a higher one. Just an extreme example to explain what i meant.

OP, you probably shouldn't fold your flopped flush. However, you gotta give board texture, positions and all that. And fold preflop.

Seriously think about this hand for a second.

You called a min-raise in the BB with 2h7h. When you called, what exactly were you hoping to flop?
A pair? Ok now how to proceed?

Two pair? Pretty unlikely, but great when you hit it.

A flush? Pretty unlikely, but great when you hit it.

So you played a hand that wasn't going to hit many flops, and when it does you aren't going to know what to do. Sometimes it hits its YAHTZEE flops though. Here you hit one. And now you are thinking about folding???

Do you see the problem with this line of thinking. "I am going to play a crappy hand OOP PF in hopes of hitting a flop...Oh now I hit one!...I fold."

Fold PF and don't fold on the flop.
