    wearing the honors of honor and whatnot
    someone the other night pushed AI on the flop with bottom 2 pair vs. an overcard flush draw. Guy called, and made his flush. This guy has a total temper tantrum, saying what a terrible call it is. someone mentions, buddy, you wanted him to call! he said no i didn't, i wanted him to fold, bottom 2 pair sucks..... I <3 Party
    i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

    Default Long term....

    Long term you want a call;if you're on the flush draw you can call only if you're getting triple your money i.e. 2-3 people are all in ahead of you and you have them covered.

    If two or 3 people go AI ahead of you, fold your flush draw.

    Do you see why?

    because two or three people already have you beat and could be on flush draw holding alot of your outs?

    whats a redraw?
    edit:nevermind found this

    Redraw
    A way to further improve your hand after hitting a draw is a redraw. For example, if you hold 9s2s (on the big blind of course) and the flop comes JsTs3c, you have a flush draw. If the turn is the 8s, you have made your flush and picked up a straight flush redraw.

    do you mean that they might have a hand and even if you hit it might improve their hand to still beat you?

    Two pair, Sets, or big pairs with the Ace of that suit, straight flush draws maybe?

    The fact is that if multiple hands are putting lots of money in then they probably have a decent chance to rake the pot even if you do hit your flush.

    heh, at this .25-.50 homegame I go to, I actually had a guy tell me "Dont call my raises anymore unless you have AK or better" rofl

    He's just so weak he has no idea what kind of hands I can play, and how I play post flop.
    take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

    Ya, I remember when I used to be the dick that was like "wtf you only got 2:1 pot odds on that flush, not even close to legitimately call with your King-high flush draw, moron"

    Oh how naive I was.
