Re: Bottom end of the straight---Raise or Call?
Excellent flop check/raise.
I am fine with turn check. Although a semi-bluff bet isn't far behind ... Calling the river is the better line, IMHO. Hero got the idiot's end of the straight, I am not comfortable popping it here. JJack, review pot equity raises theory. In short, if you pot equity is higher than the percentage of $$ you are contributing to the pot, then you should choose the strategy to get as much money in the pot as you can.

Re: Bottom end of the straight---Raise or Call?
Preflop is good.
Flop is great. Getting all the value you need. Bet the turn. Face card comes up, perfect semi-bluffing situation with high success rate. Might buy you the button, too. Call the river. Actually, if I think about it... I tend to fold. if CO has the top end of a straight, he is not gonna fold it, even if you raise. With the overcaller, I suppose this situation is gonna be slightly -EV here; the bad thing is that your turn check might have induced a bluff, therefore you are pretty much forced to call here. Betting the turn to stop bluffs makes your decision on the river a lot easier.

Re: Bottom end of the straight---Raise or Call?
No, easy call on the river. Raising the river has no value, and folding a straight for one more after a checked through turn is retarded.
I think everything is fine apart from preflop.

Hero should probably fold Axs UTG. [/ QUOTE ] Why do people become so tight these days? I limp this all day from UTG.
