    Default hit nut straight, best way to suck out money?

    Poker Stars $2.00+$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t15/t30 Blinds - 8 players
    The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

    Hero (UTG): t2280 M = 50.67
    UTG+1: t1100 M = 24.44
    MP1: t920 M = 20.44
    MP2: t1510 M = 33.56
    CO: t1430 M = 31.78
    BTN: t850 M = 18.89
    SB: t2470 M = 54.89
    BB: t1470 M = 32.67

    Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is UTG with A K
    Hero raises to t90, 1 fold, MP1 calls t90, MP2 calls t90, 1 fold, BTN calls t90, 2 folds

    Flop: (t405) Q J 7 (4 players)
    Hero bets t210, MP1 calls t210, MP2 folds, BTN folds

    Turn: (t825) T (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP1 bets t90, Hero calls t90

    River: (t1005) T (2 players)
    Hero bets t1890 all in, MP1 folds

    Looking back on this I played this very bad, well the turn onwards imho. Opinions people?

    He only has 600 on the turn so shoving then would be fine. The ten helps a lot of other hands besides yours. Since you have the nuts you could do something like bet 200 and put the remaining 400 in on the river

    Shove he'll call with a lot of hands that you obv have beat and even hands that are still drawing

    I hope you don't get in the habit of betting when your likely behind and checking when you are ahead though, focus on fundamentals

    Personally 210 or more on turn or at least check/raise 180/210 if not shove. He's definitely drawing. 90 is cheap look for diamond!!
    What MUST be, most surely SHALL be!!

    River = 2 situations 1) diamond or paired board (hands that can beat you) - Maybe Im just paranoid because I play alot of omaha, but a straight on the turn with FD is not strong enough to think about extracting chips. You need to be aggressive to win the pot. 3/4 pot sized bet turn and re-eval river
    2) no help and your straight is nuts - awesome for hero but you need to consider what he will call with what hand he is holding. Assuming you checked turn or made weak (unadvised) bet on turn, villian has
    1) air (busted draw(s))
    2) pair
    3) 2 pair
    4) set
    5) same as you - nuts
    1 and 5 are irrelevant
    2 and 3 will only call a small bet unless villian is spewy
    4 will call half pot or less.

    As you can see, you need to get as much money in on turn. River is lose-lose in most spots.
