  • Stop Chasing Flush Draws

When calling with a draw (for example, a flush draw with A ♥ K ♥ on a 9 ♥ 5 ♠ 2 ♥) you must have the correct pot odds and equity to call. The pot odds depends on your opponent’s bet size, and the size of the pot whereas your equity depends on how many outs your draw has.For the A ♥ K ♥ example above, you have 9 hearts (Q ♥ J ♥ T ♥ 8 ♥ 7 ♥ 6 ♥ 5 ♥ 4 ♥ 3 ♥) to make a flush draw which in all cases but the 5 ♥ (due to the full house possibility) will give you a flush draw and best hand possible (called the nuts).You can also win with any Ace (A ♦, A ♠, A ♣) or King (K ♦, K ♠, K ♣) which gives a total of 8 hands to the nuts and a further 5 to what is likely the best hand – this whole process is called counting outs.
