Maybe you didn't read the name of the post, but please enlighten us on how to play a set against a person drawing.

Default Drawing hands

you cant let people draw for cheap so raising any chance you get is a good thing.

If anyone thinks capping two rounds of betting with a flush draw please let me know since that was what I was bitching about to begin with.

YOU played it right - keep ramming and jamming that pot while you have the nuts (in this case, top set). What Charlie is saying, and I hope he will clarify, is that the person raising with their draw isn't making as bad a play as you think. I didnt' see the hand, but it may not have been a bad play at all.

If I flop a nut flush draw, for example, I will ALWAYS raise the flop bet (even if the guy has top set, which I obviously wouldn't know) when I'm in late position. I do this for two reasons:

1. It build the pot and gives me better math to continue with my draw
2. It usually gives me the option of taking a free card on the turn.

Default Weird thread here

I'm going to agree with Talking Poker. In a limit game, raising a four card nut flush draw sure seems like the best play to me. That makes Jack's original post difficult to empathize with, even if I think he did play it correctly by raising back (You did raise back, right Jack?).

Charlie's post slipped by without much controversy. If I'm on the receiving end, I sure would take offense at the tone. But given that he's right, it’s harder to complain. But who's Lou?

Ok I'll try to explain this again I'm not saying raising with 4 to a nut flush is a bad move, reraising is! capping the betting on the flop and turn (which means reraising the original raiser to a total of 4 bets) . By doing this on the turn you're only out is to hit the flush and your putting in way to much on hoping to catch the flush. Look at the odds at making a flush on the turn or river 1 in 4 or 25% chance. Are you willing to risk 6 big bets on that!

I posted once on this thread, now I'm staying out of the debate.

LOL.
