all in on a draw

[bubby.09]

all in on a draw is not very smart it will git you beet every time.and it make people mad and it makes you look dumb

I have done it with some sucess but the conditions must be right and I hope every time I dont get called. I usually dont call with a draw.

Depends on things such as blind levels, stack sizes, how good your draw is (open ended straight flush draw, for example, is one of the better draws you want to see), how many people are in the pot, betting that has taken place, size of the pot, etc.

yeah there's too many different situations for "all in on a draw"... its always a semi-bluff that you don't want called.. just make sure your semi-bluff is at least the nuts

If you have a flush draw and a straight draw together it's a good move since you have very good odds of getting your hand and taking all of your opponents chips. one example - a player from early position makes a raise with KK, it's too big so I decide to see a flop with 3d-6d, the flop comes with 2 diamonds in it a 7 and a 4. the guy who raised makes a very big raise and I am forced to move all-in. 5 comes on the turn and the hand is mine.

or some other case - someone make a huge raise with AJ after I limped with 8s-10s, he's been doing that a lot so I decide to call him anyway, flop comes 7s-Jc-9s, he pushes all-in, I call and get another spade on the river. (obvious call there).

It's not such a bad move when you're trying to double up, and you should always favor a flush draw over a straight draw.

Not a bad strategy. I'd also do it if I made 2 pair and a flush or straight draw. Preferably the flush draw. Its good poker and the odds are with you and against the opponent who is holding the big pocket pair........

i do never go all in on a draw, but i have to say that if its a huge draw i wont consider it a bad move.

It depends on what draws and in what situation.

I got crippled in last nights 4king freeroll on full tilt by an all in in a flush draw , they probably had 6 outs or so and they hit , but that seem to happens to me when I flop a straight, I had a feeling they were on a draw but I called anyway.. oh well
