BB flops the ignorant straight

100 MAX NL 1/2 BLINDS(LIVE-No real reads)

Beauty of a game, mostly loose-types, couple decent players.

BB-K9o

5 calls to button who raises to $5.00 to go. SB folds, All call. To the flop:

Q J 10 rainbow.

I check, checks to button who bets $15. I raise to $30 and MP calls, button calls.

Turn: rag, maybe a 7d.

I bet $5.00 2 calls.

River: Jc

I check, MP checks, Button goes all in for $54.00.

I am usually a limit player and had to think about this given typical PF raising hand ranges. On the button though, I thought his range was pretty wide so I called. Okay play? Like I said, I am normally a limit player so appropriate postflop play in big bet can be tricky for me.

You are missing a lot of information. Stack sizes being the most important thing.

First of all, fold K9o preflop here. You're not going to flop a straight all that often, which is pretty much about what you're hoping for.

2nd of all, don't check this flop. Bet it out for $30 or so and push if someone raises. There are a lot of cards that spoil your day.

As played, I hope you didn't actually bet $5 on the turn. With a $100 stack, you should just be pushing at this point.

On the river, it looks like one of the cards that spoil your day came down.
