Default Re: Flopped straight, is this correct play ?

I would have raised to protect my hand the first time it came to me. You don't have to worry about not getting action on this flop. You are going to get it. So raise and build the pot and protect your hand against the flush draw.

By "protect your hand" I mean get value out of those who won't fold the flush draw / don't price those with the flush draw in.

Also, even though you flopped the nuts, lots of bad turn cards can come. Any card that pairs the board, any diamond, or a K/Q all suck.
