Open ended straight on a cheap flop
Just been moved to the table, so I have no info on the other players. As you can see, my M is pretty small, so I need to make a move soon.
Preflop
1. As nobody shows great strength preflop, should I push all in (or even just raise) and hope to steel the pot?
On the flop;
2. I'm guessing if I don't push all-in now, someone else will bet and I will be forced to fold right? Therefore my options are push all-in now or check-fold. (Is this assessment correct?)
3. If my assessment is correct, do I get my money in the middle now, or hope for a fee card?

Ship, hope to take it down. No one is likely to have an Ace, and you have decent equity if called.

Re: Open ended straight on a cheap flop
I'd just shove on the flop.
As for preflop I dunno about just shoving coz I'm guessing a small tourney like this you won't find many folds against a limper.

Ship where? Preflop or on the flop?

On the flop. I don't see much sense going after it when you could take a free flop with your hand. I don't trust limpers, like ever.
