Re: Should I have slow played this flopped top 2pr?
check/calling the flop is a no-no.
check/raising would be my line. though it caries some risk no one will open, i would still give the lone non-blind a chance to represent something (and probably kick myself, having to give up the hand when a scare card hits - when he doesn't open). given the opportunity, you have to raise it hard. you have a straight, a flush, and a straight+flush draw on the board. given the unlikelyhood of the ladder, you'll still need to raise it at least to t300 or so. if you get called it's a little trickier. the turn you were gifted here is an auto-push on what should have been an extremely large pot (had you raised the flop).
there are a TON of cards out there that can kill you - and only 4 that give you the nut. you are giving must-call odds to any drawer here.
