22$ Early hand SB completion set

[mousey]

I knew I got sucked out on and bailed. Fucking donks. I should have open raised the flop but there wasn't any kind of draw showing until the turn. I felt it was safer check calling and getting more chips into the center. I am typically so far ahead on a flop like this that I am not really scared of many draws.

You're not blind...at least I can't see it either. What site is this Mousey? I've noticed a lot of HH's where the hero's hand is only dispalyed if it was showed down.

Regarding the hand, I probably fire off a check-raise on the flop because of the straight draw. But generaly I like your play as well.

I there wasn't any kind of draw showing until the turn.

Uh, what about the looming straight draw??

[mousey]

there are only 2 hands with any kind of straight draw that isn't a backdoor. And with only 1 limper in ep, I felt cards like 56 or 9T were not very likely. If they did have them, I was willing to take the chance to accumulate many chips.
