I wasn't suggesting a check raise, just a straight raise based on the fact that I've got what seems like a good drawing hand. I'm going to think about the math for this a bit later on - how likely it is that I make my straight without a scare card coming up.

Just to be absolutely clear, then, Lee Jones says I can call in the small blind with any Ace, even unsuited. That means I'm first to act after the flop. I want to flop an ace with no straight/flush possibilities or pairs on the board, right? Ideally I flop two pair, and everything else I check and fold.

Sorry if this is obvious, but I think I've identified this "any Ace or King from the small blind" business as trouble for me.
