the best thing on flush is try to make it to rich for them to chase.

Yes, make them pay to play. Before river 4-card flush draw has about 20% of completing so if you make them contribute more than 20% to the pot while having leading hand you will be payed off.

Well I try not to go broke against flushes, but sometimes if I have K10 suited & they have an ace-high flush I lose all of my chips. I guess I just try to be more careful with how I play when a flush is possible. They're tricky to tell sometimes if people bet on a flush-draw I think!

As already stated,you're gonna have to make it cost too much to chase...Sadly though,in online poker,most ppl are going to chase regardless..Chase,call,reraise,all in...and with nothing...I certainly don't know much,but what I do know is in online games,there is not much you can do about ANYTHING sometimes.

Very good question with some great answers. The odds of hitting a flush on river or turn is only 6.2 to 1. I like to be up against a flush chaser with a good make hand, they miss a lot.

That said I find flushes come in bunches, none for weeks then for a couple of days they come in all the time.

When I'm caught in that cycle I just get out of the way. Good Luck and make them pay!
