Hi,
I have a poker fundamental question: What should i do with the nuts on a flush draw board like this? Here, the result is quiet independant from the question, as the question is the same, villain bluffing/drawing or not.
The question extends to tournaments and every draw board, from the nuts point of view or the drawing of view. I suffered from those hands recently and tends to question myself about them, now.
1)Can i protect my nuts/top hands with my whole CG stack or tournament life, or is this EV- for you ?
2)So , from the other point of view, is that worth pressuring villain by shoving with 8 + outer draw, vs supposed top hand ?
I would appreciate every discussion on that point at the moment. Thank you.
