Terrible because of the straight draws ?

Hell no. Wonder what made you decide to check it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Edit: I said hell no before you edited asking about the straight draws, wasn't replying to that.

Re: Turn check
 

Not really terrible because of the straight draws, although that is bad yes, but because of the missed value.

Re: Turn check
 

i think you can bet here, as the board has a straight draw on it as well. and since you have a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] redraw, a c/r is not the end of the world.

No, terrible cause of the missed value. What's your reasoning for checking here? Just bet, call a raise(s).

Re: Turn check
 

I checked because I feared being checkraised. And with the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in my hand, I would have to call (The opponents were not tricky and wouldnt checkraise as a semibluff).

But it seems like the value + my number of outs makes it an easy bet, despite the risk of getting checkraised.

(I did bet it, got checkraised. Folded to a river bet. Just curious about the situation)

Re: Turn check
 

Yeah, I was curious about the way the hand was presented. It goes from 3 to 2 players when you only checked? I figured you did fudge job or the converter screwed up. Well done though.
