You got in with the nuts plus a redraw, what kind of advice do you want [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I Would probably just call the flop to suck the 3rd player in as well.. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

This is one reason I hate flopping straights with limited re-draws. ALthough you have second nut flush draw, Fazo potted it pre-flop and came out strong again, so you probably have to at least consider that he has the A high flush draw.

I think I flat call here and wait till the turn to push if my str8 is still good. Then you are forcing the flush draw (and the set which by then you must suspect Orr_4 of having) to make bad calls for all their stacks. By betting it up on the flop, you gave each of them abou tthe right odds to call all-in.

You should seriously consider not posting.

You should seriously consider reading the OP.

I believe it was on the very first line that he asked if anyone else would have played it differently. I am not arrogant enough to assume that the way I would have played it is (by definition) correct, and I am open to any meaningful discussion on alternatives (and I have great respect for 80% of your posts).

If you don't want to participate meaningfully in the discussion then STFU.

The subtext of my post was that your line on this hand is insane. That is meaningful.

Just because someone asks whether others would play a hand differently does not mean that you have to play devil's advocate and suggest a line that is clearly wrong.

Why is it wrong to play a flopped straight with one weak re-draw (although it is a blocker)out of position very cautiously?

Re: $200 PL08 hand
 

The only reason you would consider playing it differently is if you think Fazo will blow off the rest of his stack on the turn if you flat call but fold if you raise. Even if you took this line, you would be calling the turn with your K-high flush.
