Hero reraises. BB might have a straight...but find it hard to blieve he'd bet out with it. He could have a lot of different things, including, lower set, two pair, higher pocket pair, 56.

Even if he has the straight you still have outs. I just push it in.

This is as fine a time to lose $33 as it gets if he has you and you don't suck out or if he sucks out.

The only reason to call is get more money in the pot on the turn, but I like your chances of pushing with two cards to come better than one card to come. There is a good chance he could have something like 66-99 and decide to slow down on a later street when you continue to give heat when he may call all in now.

This was my first attempt at 4 tabling (to clear the turbo Empire bonus).

I just called. YUCK.

Turn a brick--check/check. River a brick. He checked and I value bet 1/2 and he called with 3[d] 4[h]

I immediately knew I shoulda pushed on the flop and kicked myself. This is part of my learning to multi-table I guess b/c I push that 85% of the time and wasn't sure why I didn't.
