    Default Fishing with odds?

    No reads on anyone. Being still in LHE mindset. I completed the SB with hopes of the flush. I picked up a backdoor flush + straight draw along with an overcard. By the time it came back around to me it was 10:1 and it was a min-bet. I check/raised the turn to beef up my own draw. The raise was in fact weak, but it was more of a probing bet more than anything. Any resistance to the bet and I'm inclined to let it go. The question is, was 10:1 on a minbet good enough to fish for my backdoor draws?

    i never chase backdoor draws cause i only play no-limit and you cant expect another mini bet on the turn. So even if you do catch part of the draw you can still be bet out of it.

    Last to act on the turn, I just call. You're drawing to the 2nd Nut and you are only dealing with the shortstack at that point. If you're lucky enough to hit, then you might stack him, but even that's not guaranteed with him just min-betting. Would you have posted this if you had missed the river?? In fact, that would be a much more interesting hand if a blank had hit. Are you going to check/fold to the shortstack??
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!
