Straight draws gone wrong

[mcpeepants]

Arghhhhhh, this is so obnoxious, this is what has been happening to me all week. I preflop raise the same thing everytime pretty much unless it's a really loose table to disguise what I have.

Here is what has been happening, 1 of 2 things:
1) I'll hit something, bet to give people bad odds and they fold and I don't get anything.
2) I'll hit something, bet to give people bad odds, they call me to the river and always make their flush/straight.

Who plays QTo to a 4x bb raise?

I should have folded to his reraise on the turn, yes. I told myself to fold, but it's so, so, so easy to click the call button. Discipline.

Once someone in micro decides they are going to call, they're calling all the way. if you have something like TP good kicker, consider a 4/5 pot sized bet. It still gives ruinous odds to everything but a straight flush draw, but won't destroy you're stack. save the super huge bets for sets or better. it's just less frustrating that way.
