I would raise to see where the other players stand. You won't know much what the other players have by simply calling. If they call, you're still in good shape.

well im pretty sure it's an obvious raise, but i dont want to raise too much because i kind of wouldnt mind a lot of callers since we have so much equity.

A dollar total raise should be enough.

I'd raise, but don't be too disappointed if you take it down now.

Your flush draw is a low one and you're drawing on the low end of the straight. If you hit your hand you can't be sure it's good, and it'll be pretty obvious from the board what you have, so unlikely other people will want to put much money in later unless you're beaten.

If your opponents have just overcards for example, do you want them to hit? Probably not, because if they do, you won't have hit and you only have one card to hit your draw.

So make it quite a big raise e.g. to $1.50 and get the money in while you're ahead.

If you REALLY want to keep people in the pot, raise to about .60 and wait for the fireworks on the river, in my own opinion.

id rather take it down right there too. We have low end straight and flush draws and if your small reraise gets called, then someones drawing to a bigger straight or flush potentially.

Only real monster is a straight flush and thats only 2 outs. Id raise big
