Standard, or did I push it way too hard on a friendly flop?

[J Chap]

keeping in mind i'm on the button, so i figure it might also look like a purchase attempt (in which case just potting it might've been more realistic).

[pottie]

Standard.

Your hand is strong enough to slowplay, but I don't think these guys would call a $4 or $6 bet without a set or big overs on this board. There's only one T left in the deck so getting paid by top pair is unlikely. I would have bet less on the flop but I don't think this board pays you much anyway.

What about checking and giving the table a free card or chance to bluff?

[djoyce003]

i'd bet something but it wouldn't be near pot sized like you did. I'd bet half pot or less....you want to give overs hope to catch but you want to build a pot. I do 5-7 here I think. Thats about as friendly a board as you could hope for rainboy and uncoordinated. Also villain could be trying to checkraise a big pocket pair so you have to give him a chance to....the small bet does that.

[pokernose]

I think this is a fine opportunity for a slow play. The pre-flop raiser didn't bet this flop so I don't think anyone has much of anything. Give your opponents a chance to catch an overcard on the turn and get some extra action.

With the dry flop you can afford to allow a free card. Somebody with second pair might decide to bet or AK might catch top pair. With any draws on the flop, your play is standard.
