Re: Pot Odds example/Playing Draws Hard
Depends on the board texture I suppose but I would say almost always raise. If it is a board you would raise a set on, then raise a draw as well. For the same reasons as outlined above.
If you have position and they flat call, then you can check if you miss the turn and they check to you, again they have made a mistake here. If you hit and they check then you can choose to slowplay and check behind to get a curious river call or just keep betting. I usually keep betting, especially if I have a low flush and they probably have an overpair with a now flush draw that would beat yours if it hit. If they move in on the flop then its no biggy to call - and if its how you play sets as well the same applies, you will either be drawing very near a coinflip or have them totally crushed. If you have a VERY strong read they are either on a missed AK or are such a tight player they might fold an overpair to more pressure then you can just bet the turn again regardless of if you hit or miss. This is a costly play if you get it wrong however, you must be sure of your read. If your just starting to play aggressively like this then just take the free card. I am more liable to keep the pressure up in a shorthanded or HU game, not full ring (where im more liable to check and take the free card)
