I answered this in the other section on strategy I think, but if not I would say this isn't a terrible play pre-flop. Not optimal, but not terrible either and the flop play is fine as well IMO. The turn is where I really take a step back when the four card straight hits the board, maybe check or fire a small bet IDK which would be best, but you have to think a draw got there in this situation and then the river would have really sent me packing on this hand when the flush came and board paired. I don't know if its great but I slow WAY down on the turn here.

The only draw that gets there is a 7.

Yeah, in an unraised pot pre-flop this is very probable. Isn't it?

Probable, yes. Likely, no. Hero raised the flop hard. Hard to think put his opponent on a 7. Something like 87 or T7 i guess is possible, but more than likely you are still ahead here. You cant slow down everytime a gutshot gets there, or you'll ending up losing a lot of value and getting bluffed out a lot

Either way I just can't see going broke with 9's and 5's on that turn in an unraised pot pre-flop, just too many possibilities. Maybe I'm in the wrong but that is just my opinion which is why we all post here to get many different views of hands.

When you talk about possibilities - the only thing that really beats me here is if he flopped a set (highly unlikely since i flopped 2 pair and it was unraised PF) or if a 7 got there (highly unlikely that he called a c/rai with a straight draw). You also have to look at my possiblities:any 9 (2 outs)any 5 (2 outs)any 7 (4 outs)any spade (minus the 9, 5, and 2 on the board = 9 outs)---------------------17 outs on river plus im ahead with 2 pair.so 34% to improve + probably way ahead anyway.

Ok, completely slow down anytime you are in a pot and any draw gets there.....even if the draw that gets there is a gutshot when you raised the previous streetSee how much value you lose out on.
