My biggest pot yet! PRAISE ME!!! sorry

[siccjay]

I just had to post this, sorry. Anyone play this differently? I almost folded pre-flop but I felt with as many cold callers I could see the flop for 3/4 of a BB. Flame away if you like NOTHING can hurt me after winning this pot!!!

Nice hand.

Somewhat of a style thing, but I would probably bet out on the flop.

I didn't want UTG to raise me and make the whole field call 2 cold.

Good thinking here?

I did almost have a heart attack when it almost got checked around.

you're closing the action for 2 SB on the flop. I'd 3-bet the flop; after calling along most people wouldn't make you for a monster and i think the turn and river would get capped just the same, with an extra few bets in the pot.

I dont really understand why you didnt 3 bet the flop as you had everyone trapped for an extra bet.

Might have been to set up your turn check-raise, but to me that just screams slowplayed flush.

But then again your opponents probably didnt even notice where that 3rd turn bet came from.

So nice hand
