Default Re: FT 25NL: 2pair & Nut Flush draw vs likely made straight

Crap, I guess we should begin with the consequences of a BB push. That would mean (if we're calling) that we have to invest about $25 more in the hopes of winning about $45. And with 13+ seemingly pretty solid outs (the clubs, the K's, the T's, and also a probable two Q's to a 3-way chop), the price we're getting is not too awful, even in this worst-case scenario of facing a BB push.

He may raise less though (hell, I guess there's even an outside chance he'll just call), and UTG doesn't have enough left behind to pop it again.

So I think you can call. I wouldn't reraise it myself, though. In fact, I don't think I'm being too results-oriented when I say that your turn bet seems really bold to me (in the sense of "reckless"). But, then again, I hate betting an obvious scare card and then getting raised by someone who was counting on me to do just that. (And there are two people who potentially can checkraise you here.)
