Neither. As some of the other posters have mentioned
already, it's better to draw three to AT. Also, even if you held precisely A9765 (without four to a flush), it is better for practical considerations to draw three to A9 rather than four to an ace. |

About the only time I would find myself raising and then drawing 4 would be if I were short-stacked in a tournament and I had pushed all-in trying to steal the blinds and had gotten called. Since I'm all-in, I have no chips left to bluff with after the draw, so all I can do is try to improve my hand.
Some might suggest falsecarding in an effort to make an opponent break a better hand than yours (maybe break a pair of aces or kings to draw at a flush), but my experience is that most opponents in the small buy-in tourneys are rather oblivious to how you draw and won't do this. I see a lot of people do stuff like keep kickers with a pair or draw 1 to trips in all-in situations and I believe falsecarding in that situation is almost always a mistake. |

Interesting responses. I suppose if I were going to draw 1, I should raise to represent 2 pair and bet whether I hit my hand or not.
I wouldnt' have considered drawing 3. Although I have only read about half of the Weisenberg articles, I recall him describing hands making 4 and 5 card draws in the BB. He may have been in multi-way pots, though. I think I remember a situation where he drew 3 to AK, but I am not sure. I will have to review the articles. I was playing low-limit draw. I am sure for PL cash, it would be opponent dependent and for tourneys, very situational. |
