you obviously did not flop a straight.

as played, call flop, call turn, c/f river.

I def. think you should be raising the flop here to about 1k. You don't have to shove there, that's not maximizing value out of this monster, but neither is calling a min-bet.

On the turn, you really really really need to raise for a plethora of reasons, one being that you have a straight on a board that you could very likely be extracting value out of. Another being because there are a lot of possible draws that would kill you on the river.

As played, I'm not sure what you're doing on the river, but you've now put in 2/3 of your stack so you definitely can't fold a straight. I guess go in and hope villain is retarded but the turn (or flop) was the street to get all-in on this hand. The queen of clubs is about the worst card in the deck that could have fallen, and as played I'd actually just call the river. Most hands that bet/call on the river are gonna be splitting with you at best anyway.

7 - 8 - 9 - T - J = straight.

Also, he's in position vs. small blind.


Hopefully these things affect your line of call, call, check/fold. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

No reason to force him out. You should be raising this flop because a lot of cards could kill your action.
