Doyle makes it a point of betting into the raiser and since you didn't you would be incorrect in checking here according to Doyle's theory. Additionally you checked raised on the hand which Doyle also frowns upon. Granted he stipulates he's had to alter his play since so many have read SS1, but let's not diminish his umbrella of protection in playing the way he does. I honestly think you did the antithesis of Doyle'e theory in this hand. Often he talks about going in with the worst hand and being fully aware of this but also recognizing he has an out. However, this is prefaced upon picking up the small pots allowing him to take this risk. So, in the hand you described he would have bet after the flop and then depending upong his read put the opponent in for all his chips.
If you say so. I never cared much for Doyle. You properly illustrated why here. You just don't go deep with draws if you don't have to. Betting into 5 people as first act with merely a flush draw is just asking to be raised hard. So I bet, the opponent raises, and I push with zero fold equity as the opponent turns over JJJ as a heavy favorite? Ya ok Doyle.

It's as if he doesn't even care what someone has behind him. He has a draw, and that's that. Everyone else sucks. My money is in. It just sounds like something you would do in an even money situation such as having a flush draw and OESD, or a flush draw with two overs.

Putting all your money in on the flop every time you have a flush draw is wicked stupid.

Can someone please figure out the math behind what Doyle does, and conjure it with a perception of general fold equity? Does the fold equity really create the +EV. What about when someone picks up a read on you?
