Default Re: straight vs. scary river

* grunch, FWIW I only play 2/4 B&M so not sure if these comments apply to this game *

I bet flop, I think there is a real possibility we take it down right there so long as no one has a five. If someone does have a five then hopefully we get one other caller for this to be a break-even bet equity wise.

Turn I raise, we most likely have the best hand here. SB could easily be betting a slowplayed 5, 7, 4, pocket pair or semi-bluffing with straight/flush draws.

River I might be weak, but I think I actually fold. We're only getting 7:1 here so the pot is fairly small. Are any weaker bluffing hands really calling a turn raise after trying to take a stab at taking it down on the turn? I can't remember the last time I folded a straight on the river to only one bet, but I think if there was ever a time this is it.
