Flopped set vs. possible straight

[Myst]

Heavy action on the turn should clue you in that you are facing the straight, esp with two opponents in. The board would be just as scary to them as it is to you, and if they didn't have the straight, they would slow down their betting too. With 10 outs and such a large pot, always call to the river, with a fold on a river only appropriate if you are 100 percent sure you are facing the straight (this comes from knowing your opponents).

Not really a great example, imo.

I wouldnt have folded this. There are too many non set hands that you can still beat if you hit your FH that could be jamming here. They could be jamming a str8 or a flush.

A safer board where there are prime overcards, maybe. Even that's remote. But not here.

Would you have folded if the turn was a 7?

On the flop, even if they tabled their hands and showed the str8, if there is enough players in, like 2-3 opponents, i would still jam this flop.

Just because 'somebody' has it, doesnt mean you arent still making money on each bet going into the pot on the flop as long as enough players are in.

Would you fold a nut flush draw here too if you knew someone had flopped a str8?

Folding this would be a huge mistake... He's behind but the pot is huge and has odds to draw out.
