So the specs here are are that I take a flop with my button with a marginal holding with a limp. The flop checks around, allowing for my gutshot broadway straight to hit. We get a near PSB and a limp call out of MP and HJ. Normally I will flat these situations (heads up) since I have no redraw and my opponent may be on a freeroll. However, in this situation I felt it was reasonable to place a moderate raise into the pot to tax these two opponents as one of them at least is most likely on a pure FD, or holding the dummy end straight. My raise gets called by MP and HJ folds. The river bricks to make my hand the nuts....but provides four straight cards one gapped. MP checks. I feel I've exposed my hand already with my turn raise, so my mission now becomes extracting value. He obviously isn't checking the nuts to me here, so he's most like got a naked FD that is backing out regardless, or more likely the dummy straight, possibly with a missed FD as well. I elect to fire a 1/4 PSB here, thinking that's about the max that a dummy straight will pay off, even though my line is clearly repping the nuts.
Sound step by step play? Any gaps or missed value possibly? Figured it couldn't hurt to inquire?
