when I have strong draws I'm either losing big pots or winning small ones.
sounds like you're running bad.

OOP play them hard and get them allin. You have FE, momentum, and a strong range when you multibarrel. You must also play your big hands the same way.

If you tripple barrel a whiffed SF draw and get looked up, it by no means is a bad thing. You will win your stack back and then some due to your image. Having draws in your range is never a bad thing, and is the reason anybody ever makes money in this game.


In position, it gets a little tricker because you have the option of checking back sometimes. In these situations you must determine if betting is more profitable than checking. Some times its hard to tell if you have alot of FE or good implied odds, and which line has the most value. Then there is the players who felt any draw, and a NFD for example is the stone cold nuts against these players. In these situations, bet/riase/felting a big draw IP can be very correct, but in the same situation against a different player you might play it uber passive, and give up on the river. etc...


All in all, playing draws should be pretty player Dependant. Just know that playing big draws hyper aggressive is never a terrible strategy and def profitable. However there may be more profitable lines that need to be considered.
