Final Pot: 12.50 BB

Flop: I have OESD and a 1-card, 2nd-nut FD. With only 3 players it's not clear that a bet is for value. I assume I am not in front. Outs are unclear especially because someone could have a flush or even a straight. I decided to check/call.

Turn: The straight comes in. The numbers don't support it but I was confident that one of them would bet; MP2 obliged and I completed my planned check-raise. Why would I want to risk giving a free card here? Why even assume that I'm in front? The fact that they both call seems reassuring. Looking back, I think that bet/call would be my best line...and a raise would make me consider a puke fold.

River: Looks like a check/call line would be better, but villain only calls.
