Re: Bad end of a straight, monotone flop, getting action
[ QUOTE ]
You have to re-raise.
Now, say he pushes over the top of your re-raise - it's not necessarily a fold. He would be pushing with a set, the K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], possibly the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] as well as with K9, KQ, and a flush.

That's why I wouldn't reraise the flop. If OP reraises to price out draws, it's going to be around $20+, half of his stack. Then if he's going to consider folding to a push, he has made a mistake.
Calling the raise may be OK; at least he won't be committed and can fold if a diamond/K comes off.
But I don't feel confident about this hand because:
it's an unraised pot and stacks are 166BB. Unless these players suck, they're not going to be raising this flop with JTo
The action goes: one call, Potsized raise, coldcall, ...
With that I'd suspect that a flush or K9 may actually be out there. And if not the turn could suck.
BTW 98 is even-money with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]+a pair on this flop.
edit: and K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is a 52% favorite
