Default Re: Textbook wait for turn in huge pot?

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, I think that's a very nice spot for it. With your raise on the flop, people with gutshots are still getting about 10-1 immediate odds on the call, more if others call. You have a preflop and flop aggressor to your immediate right, so chances are good he will follow with a bet on the turn and nobody can call between you two.

I agree 100% with this statement, this is a wonderful spot to wait til the turn to raise since even if you do raise this flop all gutshots will be able to call profitably, since a flop raise cannot protect your hand you are better off waiting til the turn to raise. Arguments can be made for raising this flop for value but when the pot gets this big it is critical you play your hand in such a way that gives you the best chance of winning the pot. Wait til the turn to raise and force the gutshots to fold correctly or call incorrectly.
