Default Re: Positive EV or Bad Poker

Unless you have opponents that don't play any old junk, you need to see the next card. You don't want to make your straight if you hold say T9, maybe even 98 as you are at the bottom card holding range of most players.

IMO, you have a big enough pot to see the next card. Hopefully you will see the third card for trips. If you get a flush card, it's likely you will be dominated by a bigger holding. If a straight card hits it needs to be smaller than your holdings.

Of course if there are two tough players in the pot, I would have to think long and hard about calling as this hand is an uphill call.
