Default Re: Straight in unraised pot

Standard? Really?

How about:
1) Fold preflop
2) Lead the turn

Especially #2. The way you did it, you're going to allow BB to make a +EV call with a set getting close to 3:1 knowing the action is closed. The other way, you trap him in the middle, make him commit some chips before finding out if it's going to get raised and then make him commit his whole stack in the side-pot if he wants to see the river.

As for Wazz's comment, I could see a fold on the flop if UTG wasn't short (relative to the table) and if UTG had actually made a pot-raise. This in-between raise kinda screams "I have the nut straight, but I don't want to raise too much since I don't have redraws and I'm only getting value from 46". I might be reading too much into things though.
