I don't hate the flop raise, but I perfer a call. You are not winning at SD UI, so raising may get you a free look at the river. However, if you just call the flop, he may bet into you on the turn and river, netting you another .5 bbs when you hit yr draw. I think you should only raise the flop when you think you can push him off his hand somehow, and I don't think you can. I perfer a call on the flop, call on the turn if he bets, and raise the river if you hit, folding otherwise.

So here's where I'm still having problems deciding what's right. I was re-reading the section last night in SSHE on pot equity. If I understand it correctly, there's not enough players contributing to the pot to continue to bet at it. I should hit my draw ~1/3 of the time, so for the equity to be correct, I want 2 bets put in for every one of mine, correct? Since we're down to 2, it seems to me that saving bets is actually the prudent thing to do, or do I have this wrong?

thanks for the help!
