Default Re: NL25 TT overpair, turn paires board, half-stack called flop c-bet

NOTE: Obviously nobody looked at the stack sizes. The ensuing discussion relates to when BB has a full stack.

The only reasonable straight draw is 78, which has 4 outs.

1) Do you think he always just check/shows-down river with 8 high?
2) 78 has a bunch of reverse implied odds against our hand. We lose ~7 when his four-out 5 hits. He felts to us when a two-out T hits. It's +EV to let him draw.

Seriously, I'm not trying to disrespect you, but you guys really need to get over draw paranoia (which I had big time when I was first starting). Stop trying to think of how to price out draws and start thinking about how to maximize value for your hand. If you had Ace high instead of TT, shouldn't you bet/fold this turn to price-out draws and overs?
