NL100 Flushdraw checkup

[Van Strummer]

As a SNG player used to play with stacks of 50BB or less I am still a little unsure about how to play draws with 100BB stacks.

Villain is 15/4/0.7
Should I push flop? After that I am pretty much getting odds to call to the river.

I wouldn't push the flop. BB is showing too much commitment to the hand. I doubt, for instance, he'll be able to get away if you catch (he probably doesn't have you on a flush draw), and the possibility that he'll get away is part of the reason to consider pushing (although I believe your immediate folding equity, if it existed, would be a more significant factor).

If you were committed to calling an all-in on the turn, or if you nearly were, I'd like a push, but since you're not, I prefer a call. (Edit: Er, what I wrote in this paragraph does also assume that a turn push is inevitable, though.)

To be results-oriented for a moment, it looks to me like your resonse to the 3-bet basically saved you $37 or so. BB's small turn bet was sort of a mixed blessing for you, but he let you make a call that should be profitable for you (and cost him money) over the long run.

You have no FE with a flop push, i dont mind the way it was played though.
