Should I just take the free card, shove for value or shove as some kind of semibluff? I really didn't know what to do at the time (and still don't). Am I just isolating myself against better by betting?
As for what I thought during the actual hand:
I bet something to give them like 3:1 odds to get draws to call (or so I was thinking)... so, I was betting for value there.
But, in hindsight, I'm on a draw myself (even if it's quite a good one counting overcards) and don't really have showdown value, and if they call that bet then they're pot commited and are not going to fold anything later anyway... so it's just like shoving. Is that analysis fine?
