So how do you play a flopped straight against a possible made flush? I don't want to give a free card to any singleton diamonds. Do I check fold once I get two callers, or do I just check/fold the flop (this seems too weak-tight).

[adanthar]

I'd have folded preflop and saved myself the trouble but since you flopped your straight I'd be 50/50 between check/folding or calling a smallish bet and going all in on the turn. With one caller I would play it as you did, but they can't both have the ace.

Yeah, I probably need to lay off the suited connectors. FWIW, this was at PokerRoom, where you start with 75BB (blinds increase every 10 hands). Does that change your decision to limp pf? What is the lowest suited conn you'd play? JT, 89?
