How to Play Open-Ended Straight Draws

[jasonv12]

Rule of thumb pot odds need to be 3 to 1 on flop and 5 to 1 on trn for me to call. Some instances I will raise with em. This is only in no limit holdem of course

Raising with them is fine against some players, but it seriously bloats the pot and if you're re-raised back, even for a min raise, you'd have to fold unless you are playing like 200 bbs deep, as you'll have already committed so many chips, there isn't much value in hitting. Also if you're called and miss, what do you do? Fold? This isn't a bad play, it may be an amazing play some cases, but should be used sparingly against the right opponent, at the right time and definitely with understanding as to why you are raising.
