    Default On the draw

    This is a $1/2 limit hold'em table that is somewhat tight. MP3 is known to be semi-loose aggressive. Button is tighter and realizes that MP3 is loose-aggressivish. Can I get suggestions on how to play the king of clubs on the flush draw when at least one of the players has a legitimate hand and I'm paying a large price to hit?

    You can probably open for a raise at a tight table. How would these players play the nut flush and how would they play the naked ace?

    I was going to limp/call because the person to my left raises about 25 percent of the time preflop. So I would conceive the person to my left playing the naked ace and the nut flush the same. The other player is tighter so I put him on a decent hand. I folded here on the turn because I expected the turn to be at least 3-bet and I wasn't going to draw to a hand that may lose. The tighter player's preflop raise made it possible he had the nut flush or he may have had a set and had a better draw. Is any of that thinking correct?

    Dont like the PF call with thtis hand this early. Raise or fold. Suited would be ok to limp.

    Fold on the flop, i dOn't think you are getting good odds, especially giving the fact that you can expect a raise behind you again.

    Unless you flopped godzilla, you never want to be the passive guy in a raising war.

    So against a very loose raiser (PFR > 20%) to my immediate left who is fairly aggressive postflop, what hands should I play and how should I play them?

    You should post that as a seperate topic.
