Hi. I'm new to this forum, and online poker, and this is my first post, so hopefully this is an interesting situation.

Welcome to the forum buddy.
If you are pretty sure MP1 will bet, you could go for a check-raise to get more money in the pot. But you will rarely be very sure, so I'll reccomend just betting about 8-900 here. |

Well yea you should have folded on the flop. But now, bet 900. You have the 2nd nuts, get it all in if theres a raise.

Check-raise, give sb a chance to call MP's almost inevitable bet.
Steve P.S. siwicki, what's a c-raise? |

fold the flop
as played bet 600 on the turn (normally I hate bets this small but your poor play on the flop put you in this spot.) Push against any raise. |

Re: Dealing with a straight while big blind and big stack
Thanks guys for the input. I guess I didn't see that I should of folded at the flop. Thought that it was worth it to pay the BB to see the next card with my straight draw.
I ended up losing to MP1 since he had the nuts (QA), and I ended up betting heavily, which I suppose was my 2nd big mistake: Turn: (t1500) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1000</font>, MP1 calls t1000, SB folds. River: (t3500) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t1750</font>, MP1 calls t1750 (All-In). |

[ QUOTE ] and I ended up betting heavily, which I suppose was my 2nd big mistake: [/ QUOTE ] no, that wasn't a mistake at all. You got all your money in with the second nuts. MP1's holding you shouldn't really worry about at all given the action. |
