How To Play Ace/Nine Suited

If you do not flop your flush, and the odds are about 65 to 1 that you won't, be prepared to back way down on betting. You still have the straight draw but if you flop an Ace, your kicker is getting weak.

Pay close attention to the board if you did not flop the flush or straight or at least the flush or straight draw. There might be some dummy who called the raise and reraise with a 6/7 off suit and saw 5/8/9 flop. There might be someone drawing to a different flush than you are. His odds are the same as yours but lighting does strike. So if you are looking for diamonds and you see two or three clubs, hearts, or spades hurry back to the porch. This is not your time to run with the big dogs. All of a sudden it not about winning with the Ace/Ninw Suited but it now about saving money and preserving your stack.
