Default Re: c/r all-in with the nut straight oop, silly or standard?

Actually, I think that's just the point. You want to extract maximum value here. You can reraise, even minreraise, and keep a set or some foolish 2pr in. You're probably going to lose any gutshot draws, but you also might get the set to come back at you all in b/c your straight is pretty well-hidden.

Remember, the closer the 2nd best hand is to your hand, the more you'll make off the pot. Trap him into putting you all in.

Also, you're more likely to get a call here on the turn and have a player with a good 2nd best hand stay with you to the river. On the river you can value bet, and you're more likely to make more money over the long run.
