Re: (re)raising with second best hand to narrow field
How about this example, which does come up quite a lot;
You have an outside straight draw, but there are also two of a suit on the flop. Opponent x has, say, tptk, and opponenent y has the flush draw. X bets, and now its into you. What is the best play? You only have 6 clean outs, whereas Y has (lets just say) 9 outs. With only 6 outs to draw, you are unlikely to make your hand. You would have to make a decent raise to force Y out, but this of course would be giving you very poor odds to draw yourself. In fact, it would seem that you would most likely be depending on a fold from X as the most probable way of taking the pot.
Are there any situations in Hold 'Em where this would be a profitable play? And what would the pot/betting values have to be?
