For the second and third questions i think its an easy answer: go all in. If you have him covered why not push all in. Yes he may have alot of outs by drawing to a flush and a straight. But on the other hand we dont know that. He could easily be drawing almost completely dead with top pair or two pair. This would also be a very possible situation for him coming out and betting that flop. Your assumption of the double draw is really a worst case scenario. Even if he just has one of these draws, wich is highly probable, you are still a huge favorite. Lets not forget you have flopped the nuts. You cant play scared and fear what cards may or may not come and if those cards may or may not help him. If you have him covered why let him draw cheaply for a raise when he might back out on 4th street. Why not put him all in right there when you have the nuts and he will either call with a draw (you are a big favorite) or with two pair (you are about 95% favorite) or will fold and you win the pot right there.

And if you are the one short stacked all-in is a no brainer. Once again you have the made hand already and even IF he is drawing and IF he hits his flush or straight you still have 12 outs to pair the board and win.

As scary as draws versus your all-in can be, we cant be affraid of what might come. It will only kill our winnings in the long run.


Great questions by the way!
