Defending against draws
I hate positions like these. Too often i just shove, which is bad. Lets assume villain is on a flush draw with an over card to our Qs. Therefore he has approximately 45% equity. How do i play this hand?
Note: this assumption is essential to my question. I do understand that it is other, non-draw hands in his range that allow us to value bet the flop profitably, though it is still pretty thin.
So, given the premise, if i shove he has equity to call. If i bet, how do i size my bet to extract value? i.e. pot odds (%) > villains equity (%). I can't.
Do we check behind and pray that the turn misses his range? If it misses then his equity is sufficiently reduced that we can make a value bet on the turn. Should the turn hit his range then its a cheap, easy fold. I hate the idea of giving him a free card.
