    I like it but only suggest doing it against non calling stations that will still call you down with A2 after check raising them.

    I didn't know how to play it. I deffinitely still want to be in the hand, but would like to see a free card, but if I'm going to be playing it I want the lead so I can suss out where I stand...

    Thought a large check raise would at least find out if there was anyone with a hand, and then if I hit, I could possibly take down a large pot.

    I dunno, still stumped.

    Getting a free card is difficult to engineer from the sb i think. Its mostly up to your opponents. Betting out could have been better if your trying not represent a straight/flush draw. If Kh came out on the turn after two callers, they would certainly have a harder time putting you on it. Although I think you played this fine with the cr!

    Nothing wrong with how you played the hand, straight and flush draw so have a very strong drawing hold.

    Majority of the time here I probably raise it here, will call it here also sometimes, problem with calling is if you do hit then opponants are less likely you to pay you off with A rag as board will be so scary so may not be getting implied odds.

    With raise, you get added folding equity along with odds of hitting so I think this is better line imo
