flopped the nuts, how many bets? - Page 2

If he has KK and puts you on say QQ, then you can still get more bets out of him when a non club/heart blank falls. I vote for holding off after 4 or so raises on the flop and resume another few on the turn to charge him a premium to draw out. So JTc is clearly in his range of holdings

a pre flop raise w JTs is not uncommon in my (limited)experience, as it was once taught to be one of the best hands.

Honestly, I'd rather spill my wad on the turn if a harmless card falls.

I'd probably go 3-4 raises on the flop. Hopefully enough to get to that magic point where I can extract the most bets from my opponent on that betting round while still keeping him convinced that I'm just overplaying KQ or some such tomfoolery.

I sat here for about 5 minutes thinking of an answer to that question. I don't really have one. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

go all the way. it sounds like he's willing, and you are a mathematical favorite over any hand he might hold. i'd put him on KK, too, not JT. the only reason to stop would be if you thought that he might just call you and that you would subsequently be able to extract less on the turn. this does not appear to be the case.

nice catch. given the way this played though, i think he's more likely to have KK.

What makes you guys say KK is more likely than JT?
