How you can use the stealthy qualities of a open-ended straight draw to your advantage

In the last piece I presented you with the following situation: you are in the middle stages of a multi-table tournament with blinds at 500/1,000. You have an average stack of 35k in the small blind and pick up K♥-Q♠.

Three people limp, one from early position, one from mid position and one from the button. You make up the blind and the player in the big blind checks. The flop comes J♦- 10♣-5♦ and you are first to act. At this point, I suggested that with four players in the pot, leading out is not the most profitable move and it would be better to check and see what transpires.

A flushing board normally spells danger for your straight draw, but play it right and you could still represent the flush
