    Default do you call ALL IN on a draw?

    you are put 'all in' for all your chips and have the nut flush draw
    personally, I think you are crazy if you do call this

    Depends on stack sizes/opponents/previous betting/etc etc

    Nothing wrong with getting allin with 12/15/more outers on the flop

    Kind of depends.....If you have two overs to the board which you think could give you the best hand, or a straight draw to go with the flush draw then I would do this all day long.

    I'll go all-in on a draw but the circumstances have to be really special for me to call all-in on a draw. I'd have to believe... and very strongly... that my draw was stronger than what the other person could be holding. Perhaps if I held:

    A-Qs on a J-10-8 flop with 2 spades. Since I would have 2 overs, a double belly buster, and the flush draw. But I would have to be fairly certain that my opponent was putting those chips in light... with something like Q-J or K-J for example.

    Edit: Also easier if it's a cash/ring game and not a tournament.
    I get no respect. . . when I move all-in, people from other tables call.

    Why does he have to be light? You have better equity if he has anything other than a set...

    Default Not often

    I am not a big fan of calling big bets with draws. But, if shortstacked, the circumstance may dictate a shove with the nut flush draw and I would prefer it to be after the flop, not the turn to get two pulls.

    This is one of my poker pet peeves, I hate having a good hand, bet properly, and the donk falls in love with any suited cards, once they flop a 4 flush, nothing is going to stop them. Good in the long run, but when they make it, my temp rises.

    I normally won't do it but it depends on the situation.

    I wouldn't do this as a rule, but as someone else said, if you have the nut flush draw with a straight possibility, then as long as there is no full house possibility I might take a gamble at it...but this would be an EXTREMELY rare case...
    I see you talking but all I hear is blah blah blah
