how to play top straight draw on flop out of pos

sixpac911 · 01-11-2006 02:02PM #1

How to play this out of position in the following situations:

heads up with two of the same suit on board

4 handed in same situation

both of the above with no flush possibility

Lets assume our hand is AK and jt6 hits the board

heads up with a preflop raise from the button
heads up with a preflop raise from UTG

3-4 handed with a preflop raise from the button
3-4 handed with a preflop raise from UTG

I know there are alot of questions in this and some variables missing and a hell of alot of answers. Just interested in arguments with the answers for consideration.

One more question without posting new thread (Ehsan:-)), two line advice on how to play cash versus how to play chip games. eg tighter, looser, more aggro, less aggro. What is the best very short summary of the differences in how to play cash well

if you have a question from me then PM me or something but seen as your question is poker related just take my name off the post man.

your questions re playing str draw are really silly as you have failed to give alot of much needed details.

who is the raise from?
what type of player?
stack sizes?
etc

you cant answer your question in isolation.

Hand 1: All in preflop.
Hand 2: Fold preflop

I'll give you one little tit bit, don't bother with inside straight draws, possibly use them as a tiny bit of back up when bluffing just incase you're called, you at least have 4 outs, but in general don't bother with them, or play them VERY cheaply. Although not quite applicable to this hand, where you have 2 over cards too, but playing inside straight draws OOP, generally just check fold (unless you're offered something like 10:1), if it's all you have e.g. 56 on a 89K flop.

Hand 2: All-in or Fold preflop

Same as me with one minor change, I might push PF in hand 2, but generally I'll just fold.

Hand 1 all in pre flop there is no other play here.

Hand 2 all in or fold pre flop depending on the opponent

sixpac911 · 01-11-2006 04:11PM

what abt the preflop call in both cases? Right play? Could a push then have been a better option?
