I lost. He made the A high straight.
Now, this is not generally a scary straight board, correct? But there was a straight draw and a flush draw. Despite having an apparent lock, can I afford to slowplay this? My thought was to appear afraid of the big cards, and hope the Villain makes a play at the pot. But, with such a short stack, was this a mistake?
Thanks for your feedback.
