Default Re: I think I did the right thing against 2 made straights.

I would be inclined to raise this preflop, especially on the tight-ass cryptos where everybody's just bonus whoring.

Flop bet is pretty standard.

Now everybody wakes up on the turn. You obviously don't have the best hand but you have 9 spades, 4 tens, and 4 fives to make your hand. I would immediately discount at least one five due to the action because you are almost positive someone has made a straight with all the action. So lets say you have 16 outs, which is about 2-1. There is no way your call is not +EV here and you might want to think about being the aggressor here.
