I dont particularly like playing A-rag-suited, exactly because of reasons like this. To play hands like this you have to be confident in your postflop play to be able to get away from the scond best hand, otherwise you shouldnt be playing these hands.

There is $0.50 in the pot, you hit trips with no kicker on a board with 2 suited cards, and there is a $.1 bet if you call you are more than giving a flush draw the correct odds to play. Raise here to abour $0.50 so that if they draw to the flush they dont get the odds. You did the calculations with pokerstove, villain has about a 25% chance of winning, so if he has to put in less than 25% of the pot he is getting odds to continue playing. As played he only has to put in about 14%.

The pot is $0.80 and the flush draw is completed and it is checked to you, you bet 4x the pot. What hand that you have beat is going to call here? If you are going to bet, make it like $0.50-0.75, but not 4x the pot, especially with this card. Check behind here.

Has this river come you would have checked behind or folded to a bet. Playing it the way you did, you lost over $3, or 30BB, as I suggested there is a good chance you would have taken it down on the flop, if not you would have only lost $0.60

Now, I really screwed the pooch on this one. But, my logic was getting someone off a 4-card flush draw. Obviously, it didn't work because someone already had the nut flush, and about 98/100 the winning hand. Now -- this was just flat out stupid, but, how do I get people off?

Let's say I was holding AK, which gives me, in all likelihood, the best hand. So, the flop comes, and someone can be drawing to four clubs. What do you do?
You have to get somebody off their flush draw on that flop by raising. On that turn if you are trying to get someboyd off a 4 card flush, you have no reason to bet $3.20, $0.50-.75 would be fine. Holding AK I would play it the same way I suggested except I wouldnt be worried about an ace with a higher kicker.
