at the turn i paused to think , and tought my options.

1st i know all my outs are clean

ºCheck Raise Allin, i always have a hard time doing it on this small pot, because i always feel that the pot isnt big enough to CRA be any usefull, but after some thinking maybe its the best option can anyone help me work out what % does he have to fold to make this a ev+ move.

º Reraise 6\4 of the pot , still has some good fold equity, and Top pair good kicker can easily fold here , but then whats the plan if he calls i miss the river , i feel he will be pot commited , and allining in theriver wont do the trick.

º Call, the most weak and easy to play in my opinion.

Help me sort this out, this small pots with huge draws always been a bit of a trouble

calling 6 dollars cold in the BB is a bad idea even if you are getting decent pot odds.

you have an open ended going into an unraised pot pf... MP is basically signaling - solid hand here, and you have no idea what UTG will do after you call...

IF you want to play this hand bet the flop, 2/3 or 3/4 or pot size, call a miniraise and bet harder on the turn when the diamond peels off...

MP may put you on bottom 2-pr or something weird that hit you just right...

Well you invested $18 to win a potential pot of $48... since you are OOP, if you hit one of your 15 outs need to get MP to call a bet of $12 or greater on the river to make it "worth it" from a pure pot odds standpoint...

Every player is different, but no way I call a open/re-raise cold with only an open ended OOP..., if you flopped an open-ended with 4 to a flush, then of course, you want to build a nice pot...

yuck. fold the flop, you have the ass-end of the lowest possible OESD. how do you know UTG+1 didn't limp in with 76s? you'd have been in a world of hurt if he had check-raised instead of folding on the turn after you called another $12...
