Flush
I need a few more posts to qualify for the Black Friday Giveaway so I am going to post a few strat threads I have had on the back-burner.
The poker room in Daytona doesn't have a bad beat jackpot. Instead it pays out a high hand jackpot. On Saturday nights this is $600 every half hour.
Obviously this has an affect on the strategy. I see some people playing every SC and small pair for more $$ than they normally would, with the hope of making a straight flush or quads
Are the $600 implied odds worth it? Personally I think not since the odds are so small.
But the one situation I think it is almost always (?) correct to alter normal strategy is when I flop a set. 22 to 1 odds to win $600. How wet does the board have to be to protect a set?
I think the straight flush draws are trickier. Normally I'd continuation bet a strong flush draw all day but what if there is a gut shot SF draw in there too. Do we risk giving up the pot or go for the $600?
(Obviously the stack sizes matter. With bigger stacks its more important to play a hand normally w/o regard to the HHJ. I'm am usually in for $100 to $200.)
