Re: taking a rowboat to a yacht party
Under different circumstances with a different flop [i.e. middle set with fewer cards that are likely to be held by others] I probably go for the check raise on either the flop or turn. My thinking was that at the 10+1 level an ace is very likely to pay me off even if I check all the way to the river and then push in a big bet, and I have found that at this level it is very unlikely that I will push anyone off of TP no matter what the kicker, so there really wasn't a need to juice the pot early. With two other people in the hand, the likelyhood of another ace was pretty high. Think of it as a prolonged all in, where I have the luxury of avoiding the suckout because I don't actually have all of my chips in the middle. Any other card but an A or Q and I'm either shoving or pot+ betting the river.
