Remember, when you flop a big hand, like the nut straight, always play cautiously. However, if you have a redraw, feel free to push it knowing that your average player (at 25 at least) doesn't care about redraws. They have the nuts now and are willing to risk it all while you are freerolling. Some examples:

Higher straight draw and flush draw. Another lesson to be learned here is to be able to fold your straight when the flush hits. He is calling big bets for what he probably thinks is a split. He could have lost $4 on this pot, instead he lost about 28.

I think this kinda fits in this topic. He may have gotten me to fold but I flopped an overpair, the straight draw and nut flush draw. Even if I knew he had QQ, I would call with those odds with all those outs. I thought I was practically dead on the turn but as it turns out, he was just a muppet with an overpair and no draw.

Am I posting these to brag? Of course, but there are lessons to be learned in each one of these. Against a non-brain dead opponent, straights and overpairs only go so far. Straights are easy to find and overpairs easy to crack. If I flopped the nut straight with nothing else, against many opponents, it is often best to just wait til the turn, look for a safe card and then act, IMO. You have to fold a danger card to pretty much any action because people will have it.

Will you get bluffed out occasionally? Yes. Will you give cheaper cards than necessary to draws? Yes. However, you can get them committed on the turn when they only have one card left to come and save yourself money when a bad card hits because they people often will not fold. Therefore, you are gambling it up to win half the pot (likely people have same straight) while they are gambling it up to win a couple stacks or possibly, splitting at worst.

Anyone have further thoughts on this? Disagree with what i've said? Discuss.

Yeah, that's how to do it, generally. It's correct in PLO to fold the nut hand, in certain very specific situations.

An example for waiting til the turn to raise. If the 6 came on the turn instead of river, I play it by ear but that turn is a blank. Another good thing by doing this is that someone without the straight can bluff at it again and I got an extra $3 out of the guy, plus, it made it easier to raise big. I might have pushed out a hand that would have boated.

Not to beat a dead horse. Another example. Look at all the dead money i got in there
