playing strong draws on the flop

Ok. I raised this flop with the aim of getting it all-in cos I thought they would both come along for the ride. As it was, only one did...

Note that it was a limped pot so BB could have any two cards, also unlikely to be holding a pocket pair (read is that they raise any pocket pair, KK or 99 would likely be pushing pre-flop - this player has been prepared to get all-in on a regular basis)

1) would it be better to simply call the flop raise?
2) do I have odds to be calling the all-in? (i need to hit to win, I'm sure of that - I'm picking Kx, maybe two pairs)

See it this way:

Your draw is strong in and of itself, yet the amount of players in the hand on the flop weaken it considerably, since more hands may outdraw you.
Also remember, its not OE, you got less outs to a made hand.

I think that investing little money into this pot may be the way to go. Try and minimize your possible losses here.



This is the curse of family pots.
