Default Re: Help me play opened-ended straight draws in position on the flop!

This is an interesting spot. Lots of options here. I like a flop call vs more taggish villians. Sometimes jamming a heart turn vs two barrel-happy villians and sometimes calling vs guys who payoff and lay decent odds.

the key to this situation is that he raised UTG and fired strong into both of you. hence, the implied odds value of your hand getting there to play a big pot (especially against his top-heavy range) is stronger than your potential fold equity to win a smallish one.
