Luckbox on full power

[1Winston]

I'll admit, it was a little bit to brag.

However this hand happened a week ago and I've just been pondering since. If the board had not fallen the way it did, how would I have gotten money out of him. So often, the nuts don't get paid off at this level, maybe for the reasons that flyingmoose mentioned.

So, regardless of what hand I had, assume you had the nuts on the flop. What is the best way to get paid off? Do you try to stack your opponent, knowing that it will often fail, but when it succeeds you will be set up nicely for the money? Or, do you try to guesstimate what the max bet the opponent will pay off?

Generic nuts are a TOTALLY different question.

If your nuts is KK on a K72 flop, a check is 100% on the mark, because they need to catch up.

This flop is one that they probably already hit, and there are many potential action killing cards in the deck, depending on what your opponent has.

Reads can really help here. If you are usually firing continuation bets on the flop then you need to do your normal thing, but when the board can give a flush alot of people stiff up.

If you hit a flop of J94r with JJ and you are always doing a continuation bet, checking will seem suspicious so I would fire 1/3 or 1/2 of the pot here.
