What are people's obsessions with flush draws about?Fool 01-28-2006, 11:01 AM Christ last night in a tourney I push a guy all in on his draw and he calls and naturally wins, pushing me down to 195 in chips. I work my way back up to 45000 in chips and a second player pushes in 50k on a flush draw and again on the river he hits it and I'm out in 79th place. Yoda 01-28-2006, 12:02 PM The first guy probably was a very bad player with out a basic understanding of outs and odds and such. Was the first one early in the tournament? If it was... What buy-in? In a low buy-in tournament, you will always have people like that. Shit, I dunno if that changes even at the higher levels. The second one on the other hand... Since he bet... Was it a semi-bluff? Maybe he just wanted you out of the pot and made sure to leave himself some outs. We'd have to see the hand to know what happened... Fool 01-28-2006, 01:02 PM Yea the first was about 20 minutes into the tourney. The second, well he called a lot on draws and I shouldn't have danced with him but it still seems extremely reckless. Though in his case he also had a straight draw so he had 17 outs against my 2 pair cacophobia 01-28-2006, 10:08 PM Shouldn't have danced with him? I love playing against people who call down their draws with improper odds.

If it was a turn push then he was about 30% + fold equity but if he had overcards he could have believed it to be a lot higher. The chance of hitting an open ended straight draw + a flush draw with 2 cards to come is about 60% (it's 15 outs, the 9 suited cards and the 6 straight cards) Fool 01-30-2006, 09:11 AM It was an inside straight that didn't develop until the turn, so he only had the river to make a hand to beat my 2 pair.
