Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
This may be a safe way to play
This may be a safe way to play but you would be giving up a lot of equity. The whole concept of playing, winning poker, is to play as many hands as possible when you have the advantage. This could be either having the best hand or having so many outs that you are a favorite to win.
Casinos make a great deal of money
Casinos make a great deal of money everyday with a smaller advantage than you will have when you flop a made hand against a flush draw. In this case you are about a 61% favorite to win. Casinos never have these kind of odds. Why would you want your opponent to fold when he only has a 39% chance of beating you?
