    Default 100nl straight in a spot where i feels stupid

    BTN is a 70/20ish fish. he has bet when checked to syndrome, SB is a laggish player who is quite aggro preflop but is somewhat tighter postflop. he is capable of bluffs in good spots to bluff though

    Flop call is really meh. but now that we're here, I'm not a fan of leading because I turn my hand face-up as well as and about half the deck on the river is good for the sb's range and he is v capable of shoving any scary river

    if i c/jam i risk the btn checking back. which option is best?



    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) -

    UTG ($100.50)
    Hero (MP) ($100)
    CO ($89.20)
    Button ($109.40)
    SB ($196.05)
    BB ($125.75)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with 6, 6
    1 fold, Hero bets $3, CO calls $3, 1 fold, SB calls $2.50, BB calls $2

    Flop: ($12) 8, 5, 9 (4 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $6, SB calls $6, 1 fold, Hero calls $6

    Turn: ($30) 7 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero?

    I would lead here $20. Villain is too likely to check back here, so we gotta bet, and lots of two pairs/flush draws can call us here.

    um u have a straight, so if hes shoving a ton of rivers, that sounds like a rly good thing? what are you scared of, getting sucked out for a big pot sometimes?
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    As for the flop call. The only time I would ever get to the turn here was if I lead the flop myself, or if I squeezed after the action as played.

    Maybe sometimes c/c vs only a CO bet, but yah def can't overcall here.

    Yes bet turn, the risk of giving 2 players a free card is too high. Plus a c/r will look really strong here unless they have good reason to peg you as a player who would cr a draw. I'd say bet and hope one of them has a set or is looking to get aggro with a flush draw.
