HUSNG: When draws complete

[TNixon]

There are only two hands that made it on the turn, 97 and 74, one of which is *supposed* to be very unlikely (but is never really as unlikely as it's supposed to be).

But there are a lot more hands that picked up a new draw on the turn, so yeah, I think you have to raise here.

To be honest, though, I'm still unclear on what to do in situations like this if you raise the turn and get reraised. I usually end up calling, but you're definitely going to be shown the straight, two pair, or even A8 a significant percentage of the time. Of course, you also get shown stuff like any random 8, any pair with a draw, or even just flat out any pair (including crap like Q3, "hey look, I've got a pair, and I think he's on a draw, so I'm going to just take it down now"), given a sufficiently donkish opponent.

Thank you for the replies, I understand now why I should have raised the turn. I have another question: If instead we imagine that there is a two flush on the flop and the 3rd flush card comes on the turn, villain does the same thing with the minbet do you advocate raising in that situation?

I don't understand why you would raise for a free straight draw when the board has a 3 flush on it.
