Hi, first time poster in this forum, but I wanted to know this board's general consensus on playing draws live in position. I am going to Vegas soon, where the games are about 100-150 big blinds deep at the 1-2 and 2-5 NL level.

Let's say we are on the button with a hand and the flop comes down K75.

What is our action if we hold the following hands in the following situations? Also, what would we do if 3bet?

AJ in a 3-way raised pot, early position bets 2/3 pot. Do we call or raise?

KQ in a 3-way raised pot, early position bets 2/3 pot. Do we call or raise?

JT in a 3-way raised pot, early position bets 2/3 pot. Do we call or raise?

A3 in a 5-way limped pot, early position bets 3/4 pot. Do we call or raise?

98 in a 5-way limped pot, early position bets 3/4 pot. Do we call or raise?

82 in a 5-way limped pot, early position bets 3/4 pot. Do we call or raise? (I would never limp here, but it is a case in which we have a low flush draw and no gutterball)

86 in a 5-way limped pot, early position bets 3/4 pot. Do we call or raise?

Thank you, I just do not want to be too spewy, but in a deep game, I know that getting money in with draws is, in theory, good practice because of the fold equity.

Moreover, how much should we raise?

Hi, welcome to the forum. I suggest reading the guidelines on posting, the FAQs and other interesting things on this forum.

Poker isn't about getting the right answers. It is about asking the right questions. There are too many variables that you have left out to even guide you on any hand. Things like:

1. Is the bettor on the flop the PFR?
2. Did the caller call out of the blinds or ahead of you?
3. Reads on the villains.
4. Can the bettor fold top pair?
5. If limped, are people fit or fold players.
6. What was the raise pf?

TBH, I'm rarely calling AJs or KQs to an EP raiser and never limping with 82s.

After a while, you'll realize that the important thing after getting the right question is to understand the reasons behind the right answer. There are 10s of millions of hand and position combinations. You'll never memorize each one. Once you know why, then when a new situation comes up, you'll be able to work through it.

GL in Las Vegas and stay away from AintNoLimit's table.

personally, barring specific info... I'd be flatting with the bare flush draws and raising with fds + some, but this all changes like venice says if

- you think you can get him to fold there and then
- the amount you think they'll pay you off if you do hit your flush/straight
etc etc

also the oesd in a 2 to a flush board is obviously not as strong so def just flatting

This is all dependent on the player you are up against, your image and how much of your stack you have to call to see the turn.

Are they likely to ever pass top pair?
Have you been very active and shown down weakish hands?
It a call too large a % of your stack that would leave you in a horrible turn situaton if you callled?

People think having a big stack and a draw is great but remember you are plahying 1/2 in vegas and people rly don't like foldinh!

If I think I can gain fold equity in raising draws then yeah, Il raise, plus its a decent balance against THINKING players then just raising sets basically. If the other person is a loose passive drooler, just play it passive and when you hit your card they will pay you off since they are loose passive droolers...

I agree with venice10.
I don't dare to give generalizing answer to only one of your questions let alone all of them.
Not gonna happen.
