The basic rule of poker is to only draw when you have odds to do so. On this flop I called 6 dollars purely on a draw but I felt strongly that any club would give me the best hand, or one any one of the kings would be the nuts of course. To the river I am almost a favourite to hit my hand but of course if someone has a set or 2 pair and the board pairs I may hit and lose to a bigger hand. I actually considered raising big on this flop but I wanted the Villian 1 to come along for the ride. Once the turn card gave me the flush I knew that I had the best hand, and was perfectly willing to pay off the King High flush if that be the case. But I would NEVER slow play here.Villian 2 did not follow the basic rule of poker once I bet, and this type of play will win me alot of money over time. He had lots of information to put me on a flush. First of all there was 4 people to see that flop. 2nd , I am a very tight player, and would only bet a flush on that board. 3rd, and probably most important, Villian 3 was all in here, and good players learn fast to NEVER BLUFF A DEAD POT!! Anyway he called of course, and once the river paired the board I absolutely knew that I was beat. Unlike this player I made the right fold :)
