Flopped the nuts out of position...where do I go from here?

Tried the hand coverter without success. Did I raise too early?

imo you shouldn't take the lead away from someone who just went from $1.50 to $4.50 on the bets. There are no outs against you, you have an invincible hand, so you can wait for the bet on the river and then raise from there.
Also The bettor had a big stack, and might have made an over size bet to win the pot away from you on the river if you had checked.

It seemed like he was content with you just calling his bet and he kept betting so I would have just called his bet again because you cannot loose this hand anyway shape or form. Maybe he hits trips or even better the "Nut" flush A high and bets hard (dream hand). If he checks the river, you bet and he might call or fold but he did anyway so why not just call.

The raise is fine. A/images/graemlins/spade.gif calls this anyway, so does a set or anything else that's gonna bet again. You want to build a pot here and get his whole stack. Good hand.

I raise the flop. Many cards that kill your action if your up against a straight, 2pair set etc.

[pottie]

I lead the flop.

That what I ment as well, didnt notice he checked at first.

Aslo dont get into a habit to slowplay just because you flopped the pure nuts. its another thing if you got 77 on a 773 r board because the deck is kinda crippled. But even with that hand you can play it fast if you suspect an big overpair out there.

lead the flop, lead the turn, half-pot bets.

your turn check-raise after the flop smooth call is too strong.

But in an unraised flop, if I lead out and he caught no part, I get nothing at all. At least I should let him catch up, right? Against stronger opponents, I might lead out and make them think I'm stabbing or caught a little pair. Just my opinion - thanks for the feedback.
