I'd raise the flop, lead the turn, call down if raised. You have 1 out to the nuts in the end. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Well not really, I guess you could have folded at some point.

I don't think I can find a fold here (unless a heart hits and it's not 7). I just don't want to make it too expensive. The way the OP played the hand the opponent may put him on bluff and 3bet the turn with something like Q9.

[Cumulonimbus]

There's no way you can fold here.

[ReptileHouse]

You have to check/raise this flop to protect your hand and face BB w/ 2 cold. If the BB has a Ah or Kh, he may call anyway, but you have to try.

The way you played it, the BB looks to have a smallish made flush, slow-played JJ, J9, or is semi-bluffing w/ the Ah. I'd call the turn 3-bet planning to check/call a non-heart river or bet/fold a heart river.

Posting Blind.

2/5 blind structure right? Fold PF.

Bet/3 Bet flop. Absolutely no reason to slowplay three flush board.

This makes the hand easier to play, but if he is still going crazy on the turn then call a raise.

Call river and get ready to mutter [censored]

[jat850]

if you don't fold PF, then I would still bet out flop, not CR. Scary boards sometimes get checked around. From there, as another poster said, get ready to call down if raised and say a bad word when the flush shows against your flopped straight. Odds are - it isn't out there against you and you do have a last gasp 1 out to the absolute nuts. At the Excalibur in LV any straight flush gets you a free hat. I got mine last trip.

i would have mucked ur hand preflop!!not enough pot odds 4 this cheesy hand.next case

Not trying to be a jerk, but is it still called the "nut straight" even if it's not the nuts? Would you call it the nut straight if the board was paired?
