Default Re: Flopped lowend str8 in BB max400

I don't mind the flop raise. It's a little small but that's alright b/c its an informational raise. The amount of scare cards that could come for top straight if they don't have specifically khqh is so many that I don't think a thinking player slow plays here, so you probably have the best hand. On the turn the information you received on the flop is that you probably have the best hand right now, so I would put in a big bet to make the draws pay. Combinationally qh th is just as likely as khqh. If get raised on the turn dump the hand. You've represented the straight and the raiser still doesn't care so you're probably beaten. On the end, against two callers a fold is an order. Heads up I probably check call a bet on the end but a regular player is not going to try a bluff out two players on this board. I understand being worried about top straight but I think this board is so draw heavy that it actually decreases the likelyhood of one of your opponents having it.
