in addition, i just want to say
while sometimes you should slow play your hands.
(and generally you want those hands to be ones that aren't likely to be drawn out on),
i never suggest slowplaying the turn as well.
reason? if by the turn he has any sort of draws, it's better to bet into him for him to make a mistake calling.
reason? u want to maximise your long run profit
scenario 1: You check the turn, he chceks behind
a: he misses his nut flush draw, you bet your full house, he folds
b: he hits, you bet river, he raises, you reraise him back, he calls.
(a happens more often than b, due to odds of hitting flush card)
scenario 2: you bet, he calls with his flush draw.
a. he misses, you bet, he fold
b. he hits, you bet, he raises, you raise him back, he calls.
(b in scenario 2 has a higher payout as the extra bet on the turn built the pot so the raises on river are proportionately larger)
unless your opponents are real donks, they WILL be scared of the full house when they are holding the nut flush in a paired board. in which case u won't see a reraise all in bet at the very end but rather just a call.
----
other way around, if you are holding Ax suited and you flopped nut flush, bet out.
no body is going to put you on a flush (chances very slim)
so nobody with a flush draw will chase (as they won't be holding the Ace of the suite to chase the nut flush).
you are betting for value against people who possible flopped top pair good kicker, or someone who flopped a straight, or someone who has two pair or someone who has a set.
no one will pay you off if you slow play a flopped nut flush. because your big check-raise on the turn/river will not be called by anyone except the person who holds a full house. in which case it was your fault giving them the free card to pair the board.
bet out, make em pay for drawing to their full house.
also, the fourth card of the suit on the turn is a nightmare and now definitely nooone will pay you off, so ALWAYS bet strong when you flop the nut flush  |
