This flop play was interesting. I checked, with the intent of raising to protect my hand. When I saw that the first bettor bet, I decided that I would have to call, and hope a safe card would come and I could protect my hand on the turn with a bigger bet. However, I was overjoyed that the button raised, giving me the opportunity to 3-bet and knock two opponents out.

they're still getting 10:1 even when it's two back to 'em.....

edit 2: Also, nice table.
