NL25 - Top straight on drawy board

hmm.

MP pushes b/c he's got a crushing monster? or b/c he's pot committed at this point?

when the action gets to MP, there's $35.10 in the pot. If he calls, it would be 44.60 in the pot and he'd have 16.07 left behind on the river. So even a 1/3 pot bet on the river will put him all-in at that point, anyway. And if he's calling this turn bet, he's staying for a showdown at the river.

Probably true, but I just couldn't imagine both of them still in the hand without at least one having a flush. Also, MP was rather passive, as you say.

Anyway, I folded, UTG thought for ages and call with AQ, MP shows the straight flush with 4c3c.
