What do you do when the board shows 4 to a straight? I know that the answer is "that it depends". It depends on reads, the relative strength of your hand and pot size right?
The opponents are the same in each hand and both call down with anything and have shown bottom pair, ace high and underpairs.

This next hand was a bit different. Was I spewing? Pre flop raiser sat down a few hands ago, no reads on him. Same villain as before.
