You pretty much have to make the call against loose aggressive players because they will bluff so much or be betting a worse hand. Against most passive regs or fish though, if they make a reasonable bet when the flush comes in, you should consider folding.BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-79188874262647862082016-04-22T05:00:49.522+07:002016-04-22T05:00:49.522+07:00Hello Nathan,

When there is a flush board on the flop, you keep betting and betting then the card completes flush and these guys bet back to you.

I would probably just flat with AA or KK because the money is going in after the flop no matter what. With QQ, JJ, TT and AK I would shove preflop just to avoid any tough decisions after the flop.
