Are the nut flush draws better than top pair non nut flush draw combos?

Basically in layman terms , the flop play is bad as you unintentionally merge your range. I.e include hands that are neither bluffs or strong hands that you want to win a big pot with.

If you split your range into combos that you raise flop, call, fold ect Q-9hh falls into the call bracket due to it being a hand that could be best (bluff catcher) with a good draw (decent equity vs better).


Calling keeps his bluffs in, allows him to improve and value cut himself sometimes when he improves on a h turn ect.

Raising folds worse, worse that sometimes improves and gets value towned, and gets all the money in if he has better sometimes,inflates the pot, both aresomething we don't exactly want.

Best way to relize the discrepancy in your thought process on the flop is to apply the reasoning why you chose to call pre? Because you had position on villain post flop right? And position postflop gives you a good element of control in the hand right?

All you've done is kinda a mix between got abit excited at tp+fld, and that's stopped you thinking about your range and positional advantage.

Not gonna hate on you tho, I've seen most who comment do as bad or worse over the years �� Also, pre there's way more goes into if you can call here or not, like how skilled you are at postflop play being a huge factor, a noob can't call as wide as a tough player can and make a profit.

Hope this helps
