mike,

i am beginning to understand the power of the dark bet in general, but i'm not sure i get why you bet the flop dark in this particular hand. there are some flops where you'll want to be minimizing your investment to see the turn. and given that its likely that you'll be facing two more bets anyway after the preflop raisers go crazy, being able to check raise three bets if get a good piece might have more information gaining power (and a better chance of knocking out utg).
