Default Re: 5/10 pl Deep Stacks flopped low straight

If you think he'll commit with an overpair then bet somewhat less on the turn($325ish?) or go for the c/r. Your line screams too much of a strong hand not wanting to get drawn out on. You better be confident in your read when checking the turn though. If he checks behind it could get ugly. I had a very similar hand yesterday (smaller stakes) where I decided to fastplay my low straight. It worked out well.

Hero (eff stacks $220) has 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and limps in EP, 4 others limp. 5 handed and pot is $10. Flop comes:

8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero bets $10, MP (tricky TAG) raises to $30, LP(Unknown) cold calls $30, Hero pops it to $110, MP calls $110, LP pushes for $220 total. We both call.

Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

River: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

MP Flips 88 and LP flips QJo. Hmm...

I'd play it again the same way though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Good luck,
