Default Re: Fast or slow - flopped boat

I hate the flop check. There are still plenty of hands people will call with here and you can't be sure Button will bet, when he checks through you lose bets.

Once button bets I think not check/raising is a mistake as he may not bet the turn. The board's looking pretty scary and some players just like to bet if checked to as some sort of bluff. He's going to check the turn a reasonable amount of time and when he does you lose a lot of value. EDIT: Just noticed you already discuss this under the turn action. Check/calling the flop and the betting out on the turn would be bad because you win the same as just betting both streets but you risk having the flop checked through.

River is standard.

I think you're giving your opponents too much credit for their ability. They aren't going to be scared away or worried about you having a monster. They also probably aren't thinking about what your flop check could mean.
