Exactly. That's the whole point of playing suited connectors, to flop a draw where you're the favorite against a big pair when you both have deep money. The situations are rare but when they come up you have to make the most of them.Originally Posted by Sykedupp
if you were talking about what locklow said, he was on a STRAIGHT flush draw... he actually was the favourite to win the hand (against AA) with a 60% chance (roughly) to hit something.... that play is not fishy, and is +EV in the long run (provided you have strong reads the opponent has AA/KK/QQ)I agree you have to mix it up, but going all in with a flush draw is a beginner (fish) play. You usually want to put all your money when you have the better hand!
I'll call you every time with top pair in that situation, and people have drawn out on me but I got the money back with interest fairly soon
The best strategy has to be a mix. Raise some hand for deception, push with the better hand.
One thing is clear, you will not loose with solid poker over a reasonable amount of time. Might make less money, but will loose less money.
