No real reads pre-flop but it was a loose table with 6-7 players per flop.

1. O.K. to cold call pre flop right, maybe raise? (If yes why because I don't think so)
2. should have raised on flop?
3. This is my real question. My read is that the villian has made his straight on 4th street. I have a draw to mine, However it will be a split pot. Should the fact that it is a split pot (provided I make my hand) figure into the pot odds on weither to call or not.

Have at it. I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I played it right untill 4th street then i turned back into the scared little puss I was playing like before I found 2+2 books and web site. Believe me you can't kick my ass any harder than I have. Although I played this pretty bad, I still had a winning session...err may be a profitable learning session is a better way to look at it.
