I usually play pretty tight in the blinds, but I completed because I felt I had good odds here with 2 players in ahead of me. Then it got minraised, and I figured I still had good pot odds so I called to see the flop. It was a good flop for me, but I couldn't decide what to do. I thought about betting out, but I was pretty sure I wouldn't take it down right there, so I just check/called. Could a check-raise work here, or should I still bet out four-handed? The turn was another good card, giving me an up-and-down straight draw, along with the flush draw. Since I was now heads up with the BB, I decided to semi-bluff w/ an almost pot-sized bet. BB called this bet, and I planned to shut down on the river unless I hit. The river brought a blank, but it was an ace, so I thought it could be a good bluff card. I pushed all-in, thinking I could get him to fold if he was on a draw too, or if he had 99-KK or something like K8. I'm looking for help on all streets, thanks in advance.
