Default Re: Common Critical Situation on Flop: To raise or not to raise TPTK?

Why would you say there is no reason to raise here?
You have flopped TPTK on a straight draw board. So your line is just to check-call then here? Wouldn't you want to raise to make it more expensive for him to draw?

There is exactly one open-end straight draw here. It's about as draw-free a board as you can get, which was, I assume, why it was chosen. You wouldn't be raising to charge draws but rather to extract value from weaker hands.

One comment: I see gutshot broadway hands calling all the time here. How many global outs are you willing to allow the collective collusive before you feel obligated to pull the trigger?
