Default Re: Live 6/12: Straight Draw on the button

Thanks for the responses so far. My main reason for asking the questions goes something like this:

Which play is more +EV, calling or raising? I haven't been able to put all the math together, but it starts like this:

Calling is the base play. If I raise, I will save one small bet 2/3rds of the time (when my draw doesn't come in). 1/3rd of the time, I will probably lose a little bit of money though, since I'll have frozen everyone up on the turn. The question is, do I lose more than 1 big bet on average? If so, I feel I should call. If not, I should probably raise.

The raise puts 1.5 more big bets in the pot straight away, but in many cases will cost me big bets on the turn/river. But how many? I'd love opinions on this matter.
