Oh, I know that we must play the hand, heh. I'm just wondering if anyone would take a different line.

What other line is there? Flat calling the bet with the intention of pushing any turn?

Betting the flop. It's such a strong draw, that I don't think it would be horrible. I'm just asking.

Personally, I want to be the one going all-in, so I check here. But I'm interested in other opinions.

What is your estimate of the EV of these scenarios?
1. Your play.
2. You check the flop and no one bets.
- a. the turn does not help you (and may contain scare cards, e.g. 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img])
- b. the turn makes your hand
3. You bet the flop
- a. everyone folds
- b. someone raises all in (you call)

It is not intuitively clear cut to me.

*in the dark, critique welcome*

I wouldn't be risking my stack on a draw in Lvl III, even this good of one, especially when my push probably pushes other overcallers out of the pot. I'm calling this and deciding whether to make my move or not on the turn.

This line is a leak, IMO.
