I feel that I may have underplayed this hand, but I'm not sure what to do. Raise the flop? Raise the turn? Or is this OK?

reads would be nice here.

I think your line is a good one if your read tells you that villain is playing his good hands (fast, possibly including the river. That way you make sure to invest a little to get a lot.

If he is very aggro but can fold his semi-nonsense to resistance I'd repop the turn. You know that he does not need to fold much to make it a profitable cEV play.

I would pop the flop to 4.50 as my last money in... you will often see turn and river freee this way. evaluate river if u whiff

[higher_energy]

raise flop
if not at least raise turn
as played fold river

Raise the turn (maybe push). You have a huge hand and his bets are weak.

Raise it to $6 on the flop...

Um, actually, you have T-high on every street. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

This hand is hugely read-dependent, esp. WTF does that flop bet mean into two opponents OOP on a scary board? If it's likely a blocking-type bet, raise away, as usual. If it's likely a monster trying to "juice the pot", then I would take your line.

Also note that your reverse implied odds suck here vs QJ if the ignorant end of the straight hits, and vs. a medium pair with a set if your 2-pair hits (which puts a 4-card straight out there as well, again coolered by QJ), and vs. a higher flush (less likely, but you never know) if the flush comes in on the river. Really, your hand isn't "huge" even from a drawing perspective only.

So keep the pot under control, see if you hit, and take it from there is a very reasonable line.

Reraise the flop.
