Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game?

You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums?

You have a good hand here, but still an underdog. If he has a King or better, you have 15 outs. An open ended st flush is much more powerful on the flop than on the turn. He raises all in & you probably have to call. Now you have all your chips in with a 1 in 3 chance of hitting.
I like to just make the call on the turn & see if you have a hand when the river comes.

Pretty good. Like TR said the only problem is you're now commited. Check raising to $10 or so would be better, IMO. He'll still feel like calling gets him commited. This way you win the pot or set yourself up for a big pay if you hit on the river and at the same time you can get away from it.
