Playing straight and flush draws is one aspect of the game that many players struggle with. And, to be completely fair, these are some of the more difficult hands and situations to manage.
However, when played correctly, these draws can be quite profitable, even though you’ll miss fairly often.
Before we dig into three hacks to help you play these hands perfectly, it’s important to note that not all draws have the same value. Draws to the best possible straight, even when it’s a gutshot, are pretty good, and so is a nut flush draw. Drawing to a low flush, on the other hand, isn’t nearly as good.
