-------------------------------------------

UTG is 36.69/8.28 over 169 Hands, and not enough stats for BB. Is there a way I could have gotten value from this hand, without risking being outdrawn? Obviously, there is a higher straight draw, and flush draw on the board so I didn't want to give away free cards. Maybe I should have better smaller? I hate to flop the nuts in the SB only to bet (defensively) and have everyone fold.

(This hand took place several weeks ago btw)

Gotta bet big to win big. Just ask anyone at the craps table...

I check-call these with more than one opp. Headup you just have to pop some chips in and hope the guy has enough

I like stealing boards with nothing and playing big pots with the nuts.
