Sightless, you are a top uNL poster, but with respect I fail to see the problem here. In fact one could go so far as to say that hero misplayed every street. (Well, maybe that's stretching it a bit, but I think an argument could probably be made that while streets 1 &amp; 4 are ok, 2 &amp; 3 are questionable.)

Actually, maybe an interesting strat hand to post, asking: how many of these streets are played correctly? Seems to me that there are some fundamental issues involved: raising light*, betting draws multiway, hand reading, turn pot odds, equity v. a given range, etc.
