Default Re: Flopped straight -- decision

I understand trying to isolate the LAG, and although I hate min-raises, in this situation it juices the pot which isn't a bad thing given your hand, but every draw is going to call it due to odds, which again isn't a really bad thing here given the strength of your hand.

Looking at it, I didn't understand it.

Do you think he comes over top of a min-raise? Did he do that before?

UTG's cold call on the turn is disconcerting, either he's drawing or has you buired.

The pot on the river is 34K and it costs you 7K to call so you are basically getting 4.85-1 on your call.

You haven't shown too much strength in the hand, so UTG could be betting any 9,88,JJ (if he limps that UTG), AA (if he was bad tricky) QJ, 6,8 (I have no idea what he limps with so I'm including lots)

He could also be betting a missed draw with a pair like KQ [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] given that no one is trying to take the pot down on the river, and he may trying to buy it.

I have to call here given that he doesn't need the nuts to push in.

You are behind 77,99,TT,KJ (eliminating QQ since he limped) which are all limping hands up front, so I don't love my hand, but to pot is too big to fold a straight.

I don't think your slow play is bad here either.
