Easy flop bet.

No, but easy turn raise.

I wondered about when to show my stuff, especially against players that are just terrible. Would a flop bet look like a steal, or would they all pee themselves and go running? And if I bet the flop, I'm probably limiting any action after I raise the next time. And certainly 9 BBs wouldn't have gone in on the river.

Players were cold-calling turn raises and paying off everywhere so I wanted to keep everyone around to hit their boats.

The turn raise might have been a good idea. Overcards to the T would have hung around. But if something under a T comes out on the river, I'll get no action (unless a T, JJ, QQ, KK is out there. But I'd have heard from those pre-flop or on the turn).

I love betting that flop. It looks just like a steal because the blank mass that I like to call the "unimaginative mass of poker players," loves to think that everyone plays the say and that no one would bet quads. If you get raised, call it on the flop and c/r them on the turn.
