Re: \"Yuck\" (aka a badly played straight flush?)
Third is a call. Raising would ordinarily be an acceptable play, but here you have a bunch of dead cards. Still, if all you had were the flush possibility, having two diamonds out wouldn't be the end of the world, and I wouldn't apologize for backing into a straight with this hand.
Apart from third, you played this about the only way you could. You can't really think about folding at any point, and your hand is too dead to really push, either.
Perhaps you think you should win more with a straight flush? Play video poker or go to a casino with a high-hand-of-the-hour bonus. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
