Default Re: Straight draw on the flop

[ QUOTE ]
I'd shove here. The call preflop is standard for me. I would never call with kjo/kjs in MP1 against the other big stack. Besides that UTG+1 is probably folding a lot here because he's affraid of the other big stack. The calling of the other big stack doesn't look dat dangerous to me. On this board, when i hit i'd always raise because a lot of turn cards can make me question how good my hand is, so if he really hit he'll probably try to shut the pot down.
Your stack is fine to make this move.So push

I'm not saying you are wrong but I question the shove because:

1. Surely we have no FE here? What can MP possibly flat call twice here, the second time on a nasty board with action behind, but not call a push with from a much smaller stack getting 2:1?

2. If he does call, what are we ahead of?

I need to slow down and think when I play. I probably just push this because of my stack size etc. but I think a lot of my outs are outs to a split pot and I don't like the answers to these questions.
