Is there a better way? I couldn't think of one then, and I can't now, but I don't love the situation. Maybe that's all it is, a marginal situation.

Why not raise preflop? If you thin the field the flop becomes a lot easier to play. That being said if you complete I like your line.

I think if I raise it actually becomes harder to play postflop, because I now have the lead out of position and there are alot of tough flops for this hand. I know what you're saying, but I think completing is alright.

No love from anyone else?
