I like being aggressive with draws, like it was previously said there is fold equity on top of your % to win. Lets replay a hand that I played earlier in the week, although I don't feel like searching for hand history so i'll just tell it.

I had 54s on the button in a 6 max $5NL game, a nitty player in the cutoff raised it up 3X the BB I called and it was just us 2 to the flop. The flop went 6 4 3 and he went ahead and bet pot into me, I quickly did the math of my outs in my head, if he had 10 10+ which I assumed he did have. Any 7, 2, 5, or 4 gave me the win adding up to 13 outs making me 51% to win against his overpair.

Now this might sound a little reckless pushing such a slight favorite but what I did was I raised him all-in. I decided in my mind that there was a chance he was betting AK and right there is my fold equity, on top of that putting such pressure on him with such a wet flop and a pretty good table image really could get hands like 10 10 and JJ to fold. If he did have QQ, KK, or AA, which was what I put him on to be honest, then I was still a slight favorite by my odds calculation. (although if I check the real odds calculator he is 53% to win)

Another reason behind my move was that I knew that if a 5, 7, 2, or 4 comes out that kills my action totally, so might as well stay aggressive.

He called with KK and the river card came a 4.

Not my best example of being aggressive with draws, but just one to look at.
