    Default Big draw - big pot - mistake?

    Is my play here good or should I just be chasing for the cheap odds that I'm getting and only bet big once I hit? Keep in mind this is 200NL on pokerstars. Assume no reads on opp.

    Downswinging holla!
    Noooo! Check the turn dude, at least one of them is calling most likely.

    I would never ever do this against a short-buy.

    Just call the flop and push when you hit.

    First of all this is not a big draw. You have an oesd with some possibly tainted outs, same goes for overcards. That being said, I'd just call the flop. As played, definitely check that turn. Pushing into 2 opponents (one being a shortstack) in an inflated pot is just spewing.

    Am I missing something? Are you felting this if the Kd or 8d comes on the turn?

    I thought he had QdJd at first, and then I saw it was offsuit.

    Not a big draw - he only had 6 legit outs - although and 8 could give him action from a smaller straight.
