Ed Miller may be cursing at me from down the street, and in retrospect I think this was weak tight. I hate it when I make folding errors.2/4 LOOSE game at FTP-Dealt Q Q in BB4 calls, SB (a bit of a maniac, and losing) completes, and I raise. 5 callsFlop: 7 6 4 I bet, 4 callers.Turn:7 6 4 8 SB bets, I fold, everyone folds (!) Should I have called down to the river with 4 to an obvious straight and players to act behind me? I wasn't particularly worried about SB, but with 4 behind me I was sure there would be a raise from a made straight. I'm not sure if it's just hindsight 20/20 (knowing everyone else folded) or correct poker playing that's making me think a call is correct here (a raise is obviously chipspewing, right?).

I wouldn't mind a riase here as much.There's just over 8 bets in the pot already. I raise will at least lock out anyone behind ya, and let you know if you might be in trouble.I'd rather lose this pot at showdown, than fold it.

im not folding this hand. whether to raise or just call down i am uncertain.

[KDawgCometh]

bad fold, you should've called down unless another heart hit

[Royal_Tour]

this crap happens all the time, you will always get chased in low limits.but. perhaps a call here would have been worth it., at least to see what this guy was playing.

Call it down - I've seen too many people bluffed out of a pot when a flush/straigh possibility hit the board.
