Baah, you missed out on the straight flush.

Not sure I love the complete pf. I may raise this to 500. Your hand will be very well disguised should he call and he might just fold anyway.

Turn I would check-raise all in.

I complete preflop and save myself the head ache of playing a big pot oop. Actually, at the tables, I'd play it exactly like OP... damit, I get so weak tight out there /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

Well pf is ok to complete but I really think you want to check-raise the turn, because you're OOP, and have an absolutely huge hand here.

I like the turn block bet.

No I don't. I like the turn check in order not to bloat the pot. Or to induce a bluff.

I have no idea.

Yes I do, both lines have merits.

A checkraise is best against an agressive opponent with a 2, a low pp, a FD, air.

A bet is best against a passive opponent with a monster, a T, a FD.

Baring reads I might go with your checkraise after all. It would be a horrible play against a T (a T doesn't fold I think) but otherwise fine. And a T probably raises the flop anyway...

That's my thinking. If he raises the flop I would either fold or look for a cheap showdown, but he's shown no real desire to take this pot from me, so I want it; and the best way to get it seems to be the check-raise line.
