Default Re: Vulnerable straight draw

Where are you playing this at? I just ask because I don't think I've seen a 3/5 SB structure anywhere before.

[ QUOTE ]
After some thinking a Bet/Call with Villain raising to get Bob out of the pot and then a call on the turn unless an ace falls seems like the best alternative. Opinions?

[/ QUOTE ] Why would you fold if an ace fell on the turn? I would suggest that you check and call and let Bob in. There may be some advantage of using PFR to get Bob out of the pot because you could increase the chance of your winning the pot if you hit an 8 or 9 but I believe I would prefer him there for when we hit a str8. The pot isn't all that big yet and I don't think we are really concerned about freeing up our 8 or 9 outs (I just don't think either fits all that commonly in Bob's hand range). In addition if we do hit an 8 or 9 on the turn and we are worried about redraws for the other opponents a simple bet there would be enough to protect your hand against overcards.
