Fastplaying Big Draws.

I was reading www.pokerlistings.com the other day and I came across there question of the day for april 14th. actually heres a link to it to check it out http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-question?s=3&w=15In this hand you flop an open ended straight flush draw. The question advocates 3 bet jamming with your OESFD. I think this only works sometimes, you need to have the correct type of opponent. If the villain can't lay down an over pair in this spot then it is a -ev move.Any thoughts?

It's actually the definition of +EV.If you have an OESFD and get it all in against an overpair everytime, you'll be a very wealthy guy.

OESFD favorite over an over-pair, so probably a good situation against this type of hand:- +ev. Also in Nl, if you only bet your big draws when they hit ,you will be losing EV long term, due to opponents not paying you off.

+EV

If you have an open-ended straight flush draw and your opponent has an overpair (without one of your flush cards) then you are a 56.25% to 43.75% favorite to win the pot.If your opponent has the overpair with a backdoor flush draw, then you're still a 52.6% to 47.4% favorite.I'll take those odds every time. Plus, if your opponent folds his overpair (or has any other weaker hand) then it's even higher +EV.

my thought is...why do you think that? And for how long have you?- Jordan

SHHHHH you guys are giving away the last advantage I have left... The issue is getting your opponent to get all the money in on the flop, without him having a set.

The only "sometimes" that this works is in any hand where the villain has an overpair, set or basically any single hand and chooses to either call your all-in or fold to your all-in. Hey, wait, that kinda covers pretty much EVERY situation doesn't it?Hmm, I guess that fastplaying a 15 card draw when you're heads-up is pretty much always +EV. Just make sure to play your sets super fast too to get paid on them the same way.

OESFD is my dream flop.

Ok now what about TODAY'S question there? I mean I'm probably going to bet that turn every time. I don't think getting check raised there would be the end of the world by any means. I see what they are saying tho about just checking behind and trying to see if you make your draw to the nuts. But what is everyones feelings towards this hand? I think this is a very borderline situation definitely not cut and dry!
