Default Re: weak one card OESD?

When you have a largish pot like this, your first priority is to win the hand rather than attract callers for when you hit your draw. You raise the flop in the hope that you might persuade someone with ace and a higher kicker to fold. That way you give yourself some extra outs. When it gets capped you know that it is going to need more than an ace to save you. The hand convertor seems to have gone awry with the pot size on the flop, but you have to call the cap even though you might already be in trouble against someone with (most likely SB). Your are getting about twelve to one by that stage. The turn card doesn't change much, so I would call the bet and try to get to the river as cheaply as possible.
