Yeah, I'm not so sure about the flop bet either, in retrospect. My reasoning was that betting might thin the field some (although probably only folding hands that I don't mind sticking around), and I could shoot for a free card if the turn didn't hit me. I also reasoned that I could get some good information out of the bet, as a raise or check/raise probably means that I'm way, way behind (although MP1 knows enough to check/raise that big a field with a flush draw).

Yeah, that good old information raise [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] But since you really must call a raise (a raise that's actually quite likely) it still sucks, further making a flop check the correct play [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
