Betting on draws, not getting odds
I often visit a NL game where a there are a few players who like to bet post flop on draws, flush draws or open ended. Often these bests are 1/2 pot sized or more. These bets are sometimes re-raises.
I will have two pair or a top pair top kicker post flop with top kicker, bet 1/2 pot or more they will reraise...with 1-4 people in the hand.
I will be on a A or K high flush draw post flop out of position, make a small if there are 5 or so players, or check to see a card if less...then they will make a 1/2, 3/4 pot sized bet and be on a Q high flush draw or on a straight draw.
They do not do this play to mix it up, it is their standard play no matter how many people are in the hand.
What is a counter to this strategy? I can see how you may want the A or K suited cards out for your 10 high but week in week out this seems like a loser. It also hurts when I fold the A.
Thanks
