Okay... I'm liking this advice... What if, instead of the 7, your dream card, the [4c] comes ...? Do you come out firing at the pot, possibly scaring him off... Or do you check behind and let him bet himself out of his money...

Well you are in position so I raise some on the turn with the intention of pot comitting him on the river.

Well... I'm assuming he's checking to you on the turn, like everyone else was... So, you can't really raise him... Sorry if that sounds anal trod... I'm just keeping my lingo straight... If he bet's, I'm pushing... So, if he checks, you bet like $75 and pray he calls w/ AJ or pushes w/ QQ+? Are you at all afraid that he'll fold his AJ there, or are you content with taking down the ~$88 pot right there...?

Ok I can see how semi-bluffing is the way to go in position especially with straight draws which are well hidden. I could see myself losing my stack against someone who played like this.

What if you are out of position and have a draw on the flop? Do you lead or check-raise the flop? Do you keep firing on the turn? I feel like I lose a lot of money by firing away barrel after barrel out of position.

Another question that I have is, are you willing to play for your stack (100x BB) on the flop with a pair+draw (straight or flush), or inside straight draw + flush draw if your opponent pushes in? These hands are 30-50% underdogs vs. AA / 2-pair / set type hands. Obviously it depends on stack sizes, bet sizes etc... but just in general lets say your opponent bets on the flop, you raise, and your oponent pushes in, do you guys regularly play for your stack with these type of holdings?
