Re: Wait for the turn for more equity or not?

Check/raise the flop. Lead the turn.

This is probably my favorite line as well. We've got a small equity advantage over everyone, so every bet that goes into this pot is profitable. We will lose if a spade comes, so 34% of the time we're drawing dead (there's a 1% chance the spade is a queen and the next card is a queen or a jack). Beyond that, we're probably winning most of the time if a spade doesn't fall. That puts our equity right around 50% against what will probably be 3 opponents.
On top of that, with the small pot size this is the best chance to scare a naked spade away. Anyone holding the 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] might be considering taking a look at a turn card that could beat us, but raising here might move them off it.
