Playing a Straight on a Three-Flush, Paired Board

Related Topics: Poker tournament, Blind (poker)

This week I have another tournament hand analysis for you, a hand in which I flop a straight although both the board and my opponent's actions turn the situation into a difficult one.

The blinds were 1,200/2,400 with a 300 ante, and I had the biggest stack at the table with more than 210,000. A loose-aggressive player opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from middle position and the button called. Dealt in the small blind I called as well, as did the big blind.

The four of us saw the flop come , giving me a straight.
