Definitely bet the flop. I think they're more likely to pay you on the flop then on the turn.

Why didn't you bet the flop?

[Entity]

He didn't bet the flop because he was in the best position for a checkraise to build the pot. If villain has an overpair hero makes a bundle by taking this line. Unfortunately, villain probably had a weak high card hand (AT or KJ or something) or was just weak-tight postflop.

If I have a read that villain is weak postflop, I'm doing the betting here. If I know he's standard, I'd probably take your line, and curse when he checked behind.

My read on the PFR was, he's like me. Good, solid player. I figured he'd bet this flop about 80% of the time. Any over pair, or AK with a flush draw, or back door flush draw. If he had overcards with no flush draws, he'd check.

I figured if I bet, he'd raise any overpair to the board, and maybe even overcards with backdoor draws. I didn't want to push out the remaining players, I wanted to trap them. Bastard checked /images/graemlins/smile.gif
