betting the flop with a flush draw


Recommended Posts

Just a general scenario...let's say I raise on the button after four limpers with a hand like KQ suited. I flop a flush draw and everyone checks to me. I bet (correctly I think) and 3 other players see the turn with me. The turn comes a complete blank and everyone checks to me again. Now this is where I never know what to do. Do I check and take the free card or do I continue betting? I know there's more to consider here, what should it be.......size of the pot, if my overcards are still live, the look of the board, etc.? Thanks for any help.

First of all, don't get into the habit too much of betting flopped flush draws. It tends to become really obvious. But if you are the original raiser, definately right play to make a bet on the flop. As for the turn, definately bet again. A lot fo people may be calling with TP weak kicker, or middle pair. A second bet will make them respect your raises.

w/3 other players in the hand you could plan to bet the flop and turn flush draw for value...but i cant really say anything unless you tell us what the board was, are you playing limit or nl? what limit? how are your opponents playing? etc...
