What about capping the FLOP? Looks right to me.

Benwood - Me too. Good point.

(I thought about that when I first read JB's post - but then became pre-occupied with JB's question).

Does anyone bet in this spot to try to fold a small flush? It wouldn't have to work too often to be right.

JB - Good idea.

I considered it -- the only reason I didn't was that I didn't want the turn checked to me. I wanted UTG to bet so I could raise.

Of course, I must have momentarily forgotten I was at Pacific -- I probably could have capped the flop and still been bet into on the turn [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].

Now that I think about it, betting the river after getting checked to in this situation is looking more and more like the right move.

In addition to the small chance it folds a weak flush there is also a small chance someone folds the straight and I scoop or get 1/2 a pot where I would have split or got 1/3.

The pot is big enough that I think this is a good play even if it fails 80-90% of the time.
