Flopping the ass-end of a straight from the SB

Results 1 to 2 of 2

    Default Flopping the ass-end of a straight from the SB

    With quite a few limpers I felt it was a good idea to complete from the SB...but was quite unsure how to go about playing it...I was a little bit worried of ATs as that could be a likely holding...but I was thinking that maybe opp had 2 pair....

    I wanted to try and protect my hand against the flush draw, is this how you should play this?

    Looks good. I probably wouldn't have reraised so much if at all though. Minreraise on the flop or check/raise on the turn. When someone else raises its not likely they are on a draw, top pair or 2 pair is much more likely, in which case you want to keep them around.
