FORTUNE500 - ???
I have the absolute stone nuts here with a straight on the board. I probably should have let this go preflop, but it was a passive table, and flops seemed cheap to come by.
So what's my play here... make a nice substantial raise, and hope to get called in both spots? I'm certainly not going to call and hope the button raises. Do I just plain out shove here and let a seven pay me off, or let someone think I'm "bluffing" on the board and make a call with air?
I made a strong raise to 500 and got called in both spots... but I'm thinking I lost value by not punching it and letting a strong second best hand pay me.
