Default Re: Bottom Set and Nut Straight Draw??

Nice hand. A lot of people make the mistake of playing passively in this kind of spot since they "know they're against a straight".

However, even if that's the case, a straight can't improve here and our improvement is fairly obvious so we still lose a ton of equity by just calling. This is a much different situation than having a draw against a set where the set can hit "kill cards" that make your hand worthless.
