Default I have a straight, two to five.

Just a reminder: Poker is profitable not because we play so well, but because others are horrible.

Texas Hold'em Limit (£1/£2), 3-handed

Villain posts small blind.
Hero posts big blind.
Hero is dealt 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Preflop:
Button folds, Villain completes, Hero checks.

Flop (2 players, 2 SB): Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain bets, Hero raises, Vilain 3-bets, Hero calls.

Turn (2 players, 4 BB): K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain bets, Hero calls.

River(2 players, 6 BB): Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Villain checks, Hero bets, Villain calls.

Results in white:
<font color="white">
Hero shows 3h 2s.
Villain shows 3s 2c.
Split pot.

Villain lost at a rate of 54.6 BB/100 over 84 hands.

Fold the turn.

I'm getting 5:1 plus significant implied odds. That's easily enough to call with an OESD in position, even though there is a flush draw possible. If I miss the straight draw, I may pair (and jump ahead of a draw, bluff, or ace-high). If I miss completely, I may have a profitable bluff.

That's the coolest thing ever. You should raise preflop, cap the flop, raise the turn, and cap the river. Well played.
