he has flush draw and he is playing possition

**Harsea21** · 07-12-2008, 08:52 PM

He may be flush draw ... or may also have 2 pairs, such as 8T ...

Or has nothing and tries to make you fold

Bet is too high, you fold ... or go all-in!

(he may have TT or 88 or 55 tho ... limping to see if he hits ..)

I would fold.

considering the stacks i don't think $24 is that big a raise. i'd call and if i fade a club on the turn lead out and bet the pot.

he raises again you are on a decision for your stack.

I think I make the flop call and lead out again on the turn. If it is a club he will reraise you but if its not a club and he was on the draw he might just fold.

Question: If you believe he is on a flush draw, what do you do if the turn doesn't complete the flush?

If I believe he is on a flush draw and lt misses the turn, I bet.

Hi. Villain seems to me to be a loose and aggressive player, who plays a lot of hands (about 34% VPIP preflop) and raises a lot (about 14% preflop). He is not a complete maniac, though, and is a marginally winning single table cash game player, who seems to pay attention. He probably views me as a TAG, who raises a lot preflop.
