so I've lost about 9 buyins between today and yesterday when I hold a flush. Either to a boat, or to a higher flush. Its been f'n nasty.
Without giving specific hand histories, which would all look like bad beat posts, can someone outline some guidelines for playing flushes and flush draws?

Be more careful when you have low suited connectors and don't go all the way with your low flush?

Yeah, if you hold low flush, you have to be really careful..."he can't be holding 2 hearts if I am...WTF???? A9 hearts!!!1111!1!!" Of course, be extremely careful when the fourth card of a suit falls.
I personally like Ax sooted and JT sooted, and occasionally Kx sooted if I get good odds on the PF limp. I am not very good at playing SCs, so low flushes don't bite me as often as I dump them until I improve my postflop play to the point where I don't go broke on them.

Watch out in limped pots.. In raised pots your lower flush is usually good.

Right, ok, lesson definitely learned. In a place where everyone is playing Axs for a raise (50NL), our flush value has to be diminished.
how are we playing a situation where it is fairly multiway, 3-4ish handed, we're OOP and we flop a pretty strong draw -- FD, SD, TopPair+FD, etc etc. Assume no reads, or assume our opponents just suck. I realize there are just too many variables to really nail down, but "in general"
Donk it? Thats what we'd do in LHE. Folding equity + big draw = pump. I've been leading the flop with a pot sized bet. But in NL, I'm not so confident firing two pot-sized barrels without much of a hand. Depending on his stack I often get reraised for like 6 more BB, and well, pots big, call. I don't think I've won one yet. ;p
I guess I just have to plug away at my learning curve.
Who was the moron who said learning LHE first would help in NL? So far it has just made me: lose my ass in flush over flush situations, lose my ass with top pair, call down too much, and take AKo too far. Well shit, surprised I ain't broke.

Also, I don't give shortstacks credit for hands. Then I give them money.

*raises hand*
Do one or more of the following until you learn some big bet concepts:
o Play full ring
o Buy-in short
o Move down to $25 or $10

What advantage does buying in short give? Is it for loss-limiting purposes? Because I'm not really losing, just not really winning. About break even, though I think Im down one or two buyins.
I'm playing way overbankrolled for the 50NL game, so moving down is.. well.. not what I want to do.
Full ring is an option.

You no longer have reverse-implied-odds problems with hands you're used to playing very aggressivly. Deciding when you should play or threaten to play a big pot is going to be a growth area for you for some time to come.
