Okay here is the turn and the reason I posted this hand. The thoughts going through my head were - there are too many people in this hand and I am beat. One of the chasers hit a 4 - or the nursemaidboy who min raised pre-flop had a bigger pair. My husband - who normally leaves me alone when I am making a decision - looks over at my laptop and says " great, go for it." Now I am afraid if I don't and I lose it will validate his concern that I am still not aggressive enough and that is why I don't win more. Now he meant no harm - and really didn't mean to be trying to tell me what to do cause he knows not to do that - it was just a reaction he had, assuming that was what I should and would do. So I said "I should check it" and did this:
