<font color="blue"> I was very scared to bet because I felt like I would have to fold to any raise. I didn't want to be bluffed out of the pot so I cursed and checked. At the time I felt like it was a horrible play because of the 2 hearts and str8 draws on the board and the fact that I was letting 2 opponents draw for free. Help! </font>

Bet. Don't fold to a raise. You already know the reasons you have to bet-- you can't let them have a free card on this draw heavy board.

You're calling down a check-raise? I suppose this isn't too bad, depending on who does the check-raising, and whether the other guy is coming along too.

Yeah, I think we should call down a check-raise. Here's my thinking: A check-raise could easily be a semi-bluff (check-raise seems pretty good with something like QT) and the pot would be about 10BB at that point. Even if a check-raise was a jack, we'd have up to 6 outs to draw out.

Ack, missed the fact we have a gutshot. I need to start actually reading posts.
