Valuetown. 28 now, call if he shoves. Bet 40-42 on turn if you think he might fold a heart to a push (I find they often will behave like this), otherwise push non-heart turn.

call, showdown

I go big to like 35 and call any push

Re: 100nl, Flopped straight, monotone board
 

if you make it 30 now you can push non heart turn without overbetting

Re: 100nl, Flopped straight, monotone board
 

I would just call. A flush draw is definitely in his range but not enough number of times to not reraise. Just call and check raise any turn.

Re: 100nl, Flopped straight, monotone board
 

I don't like calling at all.. even if he isn't on a flushdraw, a fourth heart on the turn would slow the action way down.
Get in as much as possible now when you are likely ahead.

And risk getting the turn checked through? We need to get money in this pot while we're surely ahead.

This is a 4 way limped pot. Even donks can have flushes here. You are drawing dead against a flush. This is not a spot where you want to play a huge pot.

this is probably true but with the chance of one of them having atleast one heart so high this can be tricky. i'd rr overbet the minR so much he'll play for all his money on the flop where your ahead. and if not take it down and be happy. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
