Bart Hanson — who spoke with PokerNews over the weekend about Omaha Hi-Low strategy — also writes excellent columns on poker strategy for Card Player magazine. In a recent one, he discussed the uncommon but happy situation of flopping the nut flush in no-limit hold’em.
His argument for playing it fast and aggressively can be summarized by these points:
- On one-suit boards, you’ll never get value from one-pair hands, so don’t worry about chasing them out. The goal is to get value from players with sets, lower flushes, and flush draws.
