J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Play it fast or wait for a bigger street to raise?

i like to bet the flop and fastplay. no one ever believes you.

Bet the flop. If he raises, then call and donk the turn. I wouldn't play this one too fast on the flop because it will kill your action on the expensive streets. Play it like an Ace protecting against a flush draw.

this guy is psycho, right?
definitely checkraise him on flop and just bet/raise every chance you get.
you gotta allow these guys to give you too much action.

I would bet the flop. He doesnt believe you. I would probably not 3-bet. I think its close between donking the turn and CR the river.

CR the river won't work, not gonna get a bet/call, most likely you'll get a check behind

Against 2 or more opponents I go ahead and bet out even if the pf raiser is on my immediate left. Checkraising the flop and leading the turn will generally fold all but the biggest draws (K or T or spades) If someone has 2 pair or a set I may get action.

Against only one opponent I figure this hand will hold up close to always. In case anyone is paying attention to me always leading out with the made flush, I thought it might be a good spot to slowplay.

Problem with sp oop is of course I have to cr somewhere, which is almost like turning my cards over.

Overall I would have to say I generally suck oop. This is something I must think about.

i change it up between bet/3-betting and cring a turn or cring the flop hoping to cap and betting out on the turn depending on how aggro i think opponent is

This is how I usually do it. If you wait and a spade comes on the turn, that will often kill your action too.
