Should I avoid this?

edited November 2010 in The Poker Clinic
£2.20 Deepie - table was fairly nuts (one super lag) & I was card dead & played 1 hand in first 45 mins. Hand in question wasnt against the Lag though.

I always seem to go broke against flushes/flush draws. Should I keep getting it in with the perceived best hand but facing 2 or even 3 cards of the same suit?

Did I play this properly or not? More a general rule i'm looking for here as given the flop not sure oppo is ever folding (I know i'm not!)

    pre fine, i would be happy to take the dead money with that bet and happy to get a dominated hand call me.

    On the flop you are 53.5% to win the hand, 6% to tie it, and 40.5% to lose it. So there is not a lot in it!

    Just a cooler, noone is folding after that flop. As a rule i would bet more on the flop though. maybe 3/4 pot bet. The turn as played is fine, again, we just have to go with the hand we cant be worried about flushes all the time.

    Edit. just seen you did actually give yourself a chance to fold it on the turn by betting 1000 into 3000 if you think he will only rereaise with flush you can fold.
