Terrible because of the straight draws ?

Hell no. Wonder what made you decide to check it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Edit: I said hell no before you edited asking about the straight draws, wasn't replying to that.

Not really terrible because of the straight draws, although that is bad yes, but because of the missed value.

i think you can bet here, as the board has a straight draw on it as well. and since you have a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] redraw, a c/r is not the end of the world.

No, terrible cause of the missed value. What's your reasoning for checking here? Just bet, call a raise(s).

I checked because I feared being checkraised. And with the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in my hand, I would have to call (The opponents were not tricky and wouldnt checkraise as a semibluff).

But it seems like the value + my number of outs makes it an easy bet, despite the risk of getting checkraised.

(I did bet it, got checkraised. Folded to a river bet. Just curious about the situation)

Yeah, I was curious about the way the hand was presented. It goes from 3 to 2 players when you only checked? I figured you did fudge job or the converter screwed up. Well done though.
