Do you ever find yourself thinking you flopped the nuts, when in fact you didn't. You have alot of players in the pot so sandbagging sounds like the optimal play? Well guess what..?

I think that is the perfect reason NOT to sandbag. I only slowplay, when I flop a monster AND there's no one (or no money) in.

I would cap the flop. The turn raise is good even though your hand got counterfitted because you drive out the buttons likely overcards, but you have to be prepared to fold to a 3-bet. Ugly river bet but I suppose you have to call as there is little reason to fear the K (a 6 is more likely).

Not betting this flop with only one to act behind you will cost you money. Having it checked through would be terrible.

I think you have to call the turn once the 6 comes off as any Pocket pair greater than 4s has you beat as you've now been counterfieted.

Peace,
