Although i have no data to

flush draw (2 on the board) in EP. Your
fold equity is highest from EP as bets from
LP often look like trying to
buy the pot. A strong bet from EP says 'I have a hand and
don't want to get
draw out on'. Any reraises then play accordingly but I will take bad odds as you have masked your
draw and will have good chance to
check-raise later (here I dont mind being up against
top set as i'll only be playing the really big pots if I have them beat).
Also checking in EP can
lead to difficult decisions if its checked round and you think that the CO or
button is trying to
buy the pot, you will almost certainly get bad odds to
chase, a
check raise could get very expensive and you may have to throw away the best hand.
