MP1 is super fishy. Don't like how I played this one at all.

My first thought was raise pre flop. It this too loose?

I would play it the same way post flop unless you thought you could get him to bet the turn after you capped the flop.

What line do you like better?

I like it. MP1 is likely to back off if you 4-bet the flop. You gain an extra small bet from him by playing this way. If he wants to tangle again on the turn, great!

That said, I would play it fast if there were any other players around.

I don't understand what you don't like. You had the nuts the whole way. You bet and raised with a nice stop n go in the middle. I would say well played.

I was thinking that maybe I should have capped the flop because there were quite a few cards that could have come that a.) could kill my action or B.) could make me question a turn raise (i.e. any /images/graemlins/diamond.gif). However, it seems like my initial instincts were right while playing the hand. That's a good thing!
