Default Re: How do you play big hands out of position?

[ QUOTE ]
yeah, normally I do 15. not sure what made me do 20 this time.

I think if any street were to be checked, the flop would be it.

I don't like checking the turn here.

what do you guys think about overbetting the flop then betting 1/2 to 2/3 on the turn?

In this particular situaiton flop check isn't good imo. Yes you have a strong hand, but what are going to do if someone bets a dollar from the rear? Raise them and give away your hand? Check/call and then what? Check the turn? This is a solid enough flop that someone caught something and will likely call your bet. You also run into the risk of giving a free card by checking this pot. I think just leading and trying to get money in is the best play here. You may even get raised. You just never know....
