Default Re: Chasing a draw early on

Pre-flop is fine.

Flop pot odds to call = 3150/1000 = 3.2:1 and you need 38/9 = 4.2:1 to hit

You have to crai or fold this flop. You're not getting pot odds to hit your flush and if you hit it's too likely that villain will put you on FD. Only if villain is also on FD do you get paid off enough to give you implied odds to call, and that's not likely enough to justify a call.

Turn is a definite fold, not even close. 5750/1600 = 3.6:1 and you need 35/9 = 4.1:1

Thanks for the responses. Given what I know about the hand, a raise all-in on the flop either as a check-raise or as a third bet was probably the better line. The villan had AQ and told me, because of my raise pf, he did not put me on a flush draw. I am pretty sure he would have laid down AQ on the flop to an all-in bet. I missed the river and checked and he checked behind saying "AK is good".

Are people actually saying that folding K8s in the CO with 80bb's effective is correct?
