Its folded to me in MP. I raise to $4 with [9h]. I dont always do this, but both blinds have full stacks and all but one of the players between me and the blinds have at least $75. If most of the were short stacked I would fold.
BB calls so the pot is $8. The flop comes [8h][Kh]. WOW! Now that looks nice. I flopped a flush and have a straight flush draw. Lets hope he has something because Im not checking. I want him to think I have AK.
