Re: Straight draw being raised by a lower \'made straight\'
More good points regarding how long until the blinds go up, and pushing with a marginal stack in this spot. Although I would rather have a flush draw on fourth, if I was at about 6k at the start of the hand, I would be looking to get em all in figuring I either double up, or I'm done. There wouldn't be enough to play with afterwards to justify not going for the full double up.
With 22k in my stack, if the limit was about to go up, I would also lean more toward your position. I guess the bottom line is if you are real deep or small you can push the action, but if you have a relatively large stack in comparison to the other stacks but not in comparison to the ante's, you can wait for another spot.
Another thing to think about here is that with the size of the original poster's stack, relative to the other players he can be stealing a good deal. It doesn't take too long before those steals make up for the value you give up by passing on this draw or not pushing the action when you hit the draw. So, if getting involved in draws like this during a turny potentially limits your ability to steal antes if you don't hit, you need to consider that when deciding your course of action.
