On the Flop

• Count the pot and the number of outs you have to make your hand and then determine if it is profitable to draw.
• You should only call with a drawing hand if you think you will get paid off if you hit.
• Consider which opponents you are up against and how they play their hands.
• Be prepared to fold your hand on the flop very often.
• When you hit, play more aggressively.
• Be ready to raise in a big pot if the flop gives you many different draws. A good example is if you hit a something like a weak flush draw, a third-best low draw and an inside straight draw. You should then raise to force your opponents out and give your hand a better chance to win if you hit. However, be prepared to release your hand if there is heavy action behind you.
• Do not draw for a low when the flop comes with two high cards. Similarly, do not draw for a high when the flop comes with two low cards, unless your hand consists of additional values, such as a flush draw.

Three Low Cards on the Flop

• If you flop a straight draw and there exists no chance for a low, FOLD.
• If you flop a flush draw (not the nut flush draw) and there exists no chance for a low, FOLD.
• If you flop the nut flush draw and there exists no chance for a low, CALL/FOLD depending on the size of the pot.

Two Suited Cards on the Flop

• If you have the flush draw and no low draw, only go for the flush if it is the nut flush draw.
• If there is a pair on the board, you should release your flush and straight draws.
