In a given hand, if you knew that you would win any showdown, what would you do to maximize your profit?

Bet and raise.

The answers were genuine. I don't know any other way of getting money into the pot.

Were you looking for something else?

Were you looking for something else?

Yes, I was hoping for some discussion about taking advantage of different boards. Say floping quads vs. a straight flush vs. top pair on a flop that contains a good flush or straight draw (or both) vs. a set on a totally uncoordinated board.

How would you use the "scariness" of a board to your advantage, knowing you will always win the hand. When would you try to trap vs. straight forward betting and raising vs. slow-playing (or varying your speed).

Does that make any more sense?
