Straight draw
 

Anyone play this differently? Is this 4th street raise a good move? I was fairly confident that the action would go as it did.

Re: Straight draw
 

fold third.

The ante is small...and you have a dead 9 and T.

Re: Straight draw
 

Jon,

I see that two of his pair cards are dead and I see the small ante.

But, his primary straight cards are live and only one of the secondary cards (6h) is dead.

Now, this is the part I find confusing. The bring-in is large, half a small bet. I can see how that would incline one towards a fold, but with three limpers, the pot is offering Hero 5.4:1 on his call.

His odds against making the straight are about 5.7:1 (I think).

Having played this site/game/limit, Hero stands to get paid off well if he makes his straight.

Re: Straight draw
 

I don't like these starters. 9s Ts not very live.

On 4th, I don't know how much I like the raise. Your straight is live but it's all you've got. I'd probably just call to the 3s and see what they do on 5th.

I bet 5th, call 6th and fold the river.
