Flushes are so valuable because they're difficult to hit.
Yet people hit them all the time.
Raise up 3x… get a call from middle position. Hit a set, or top-top make a pot size bet with two suited on the board, get a call. Turn's a blank, bet big again, get another call where you're pot commited, and he gets there on the river.
Repeat over and over and over…
I never know anymore if I should bet more so the chasers pay me if they don't get there. Or do I slow down so I don't get killed when the chaser hits.
I know, I know… you want them to get the money in bad. You want them to chase….
But why do they always seem to freaking get there? It sure seems a lot more than 1-out-of 3 or 1-out-of-4.
I live in Georgia. The only live poker around here other than going to Florida or other places that have casinos is at the local cash games or local bar tourneys. If there is a raise pre flop you can forget your 3x or 4x raise. It does not get the job done. Sometimes 5x to 7x raises pre will get you 5 or more callers. If they have two suited cards they are going to the death with any flush draws that hit. Short of heart attack or someone jacking the game there is no way to get them to fold. It does not matter if the board is double paired they wish to see the river. So make them pay and have position on them hopefully. All I got.
