3 Part Question

djalikool

Part 1

The game in question is NLHE. Assuming you limp in with a suited connectors ranging between 5.6.7.8.9.10. and you flop a flush. You have three - four callers pre-flop. You know that one of them has a Higher flush card. How much do you bet after the flop? Do you bet the minumum and slow play your flush? Do you overbet the pot to make the Higher flush card fold?

Part 2

Assuming you overbet the pot and you received 4 callers, but they missed on the turn. How much should you bet then? Let him chase? and lose the minumim, or get a large bet and hope he folds?

Part 3

If the flush card comes out on the river, do you now fold if they moves ALL IN?

Stack sizes don't matter, I just want to know the % of the bet that should be thrown in, in each betting round.

IE. If you flop a flush you should bet around pot size or 1/4 of the pot

Since I KNOW what they have, I bet enough for them to make a mistake but hopefully not enough that they fold. Since I hold 2 of their flush outs, I'm not too concerned about them chasing (as long as I don't give them odds). Remember to bet slightly higher than normal to account for the multi-way pot. I would normally bet about 1/2 the pot, but I'd probably bet 2 to 2 1/2 times the pot with 4 other players (so it will still be a mistake if 3 of us continue). Also, this doesn't take into account implied odds, since you said stack sizes don't matter (which is totally incorrect in NL - they are one of the most important pieces of information).

PUSH! You overbet the pot, so it is probably big enough not to try to milk any more. If you are deep-stacked, you don't want a super-tough river decision. If you are short-stacked, you aren't getting away anyway and giving them a free card would be silly.

Since you KNOW he has a single higher flush card, than you are obviously beat, so you must fold. Again, this is based on you KNOWING. If you are not infallible, than it all depends on your reads and the pot size relative to his all-in (and if any other players called the all-in and/or are still to act).

Hope that answers your question for this game where only immediate odds based on perfect reads matter...???

if you always bet the pot (or just slightly over bet or underbet) they have no odds to chase yet it doesn't look suspicious. My bet sizes always go from 1/2 pot to over pot depending on players. It's not out of line.... never ever give your opponents odds to chase I have and got burned.....
