NL200 raise on the turn or try and trap?

So given your theory of big pots.. why do you like a flop check?

you dont have a big "hand" yet ;p

Really though I check the nut flush draw alot last or 2nd last to act. The reason is my opponents think I will always bet a flushdraw, (or most anything really) so when I hit I get excessive action. So, you could say I'm disguising my hand in advance [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

It's not to say I dont think this flop should be bet, only I would check this alot.

I find myself itching with anticipation to bet this flop

Yeah...

*About first part, the key note though is when you do hit, you need to push your hand hard. That is where I think the OP made an error.

I was hoping for a check raise on the flop, then changed my mind on the turn for some reason when he reraised, I still don't know why. I'm usually a very good trapper and this is the best part of my game but I think it got a little to dumb in this hand. As I said I was hoping for a straight card to hit so I could hopefully get them both all in. I know I [censored] this one up but just want some opinions about exactly how to play it. I really thought he was going to bet the river as well though and I didn't want to shut him off a bluff by betting.

I was hoping someone hit this board hard on the flop as well so I didn't want to be check raised. By me not betting the flush draw I figure they wouldn't put me on one if it hit. Lotta people in the hand and a lot of dangerous cards there ..
