Default Re: Flopped straight - flush draw on board

Why do we not want to c/r this flop?

I agree that the L-R-R by button screams biggie, and you're holding a giantkiller on the flop. Add in the fact that you're out of position and are up against at least one aggressive opponent, and the fact that the board is draw-heavy. You have a PF raiser AND re-raiser on your left. They're gonna open the betting for you, guaranteed. draw-heavy, and a c/r seems to me to be the obvious choice. If you c/r, it may well look like a semibluff, meaning that your opponents may stack off on the flop thinking they've made a defensive maneuver -- something you want to happen, since virtually all hands are drawing very thin against you.
