Re: How you play this straight draws and flush blockers on button?
Well, to clarify, if you called and there were 4 to the turn I agree with folding to a paired board against most opponents. What I mean is that calling with the intent of just folding to a paired board is weak. Sometimes the board pairs and doesn't hit anybody...nothing in this action naturally leads me to assume that someone has a set. You don't to play a guessing game on a paired board, however, when you only have a draw, so push it now. THis avoids a situation where the board pairs, the guy with the small straight has the balls to keep pushing his hand, and you fold with plenty of equity to continue if you only knew his cards.
