Now that's a funny hand. I won't argue with your flop call. But if the flop were two-toned, would you still call?

I guess it looks fairly standard given the description of the game/opponents.

I might lead out on the flop sometimes to get a better read/disguise my hand, and to allow me extract more value when I flop a monster in this situation.

Also, any chance whatsoever of a flop cap buying you a free card. Would they have reason to fear a double checkraise from you and put the brakes on with their more marginal hands.

Folding's not an option here at better than 8-1 and aggro opponents

Turn and river obviously play themselves
