I figured the C/R was good on the flop for a free card on the turn. Am I wrong about that? I knew no one was going to raise me. I would Hvae C/r the turn but i figured they would have just checked around if I check.

I usually dont play it this way. I would have folded preflop table was just to damn passive not to play it.

You're not likely to get a free card on the turn from SB position; five people will have to check the turn after you for this to work.

By raising the flop you trap everyone (5 callers) for one more small bet (i.e. 2.5 big bets). If you check raise the turn after just calling the flop (assuming the BB bets out again on the turn), you stand to gain 5 extra big bets if everyone calls. These are the shades of gray that really affect your win rate.

Of course, it would be a nightmare if the turn gets checked through... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Nice hand.
