Flop the nuts, check or bet? OOP
Had an interesting discussion earlier!
You flop the nuts, would you check it for deception or just bet to build the pot?
I checked to let the opponent improve. Pretty similiar to a previous thread with devonfish, when he checked his 9s.

Yes you might let him catch up, but you also might let a really scary turn card come down that stops him putting a penny into the pot. Lots of draws he will pay to see, and obv if he has like sets and 2prs, he'll prob try to get it in now cos of how wet it is.
Pull up to the maximum!!
lol
100% bet!!!!
It really is an easy game at this level!
Always C/betting after a raise...build pot and make the villian pay for each card..if he's flopped the k flush..it's all the way to the bank..you also have the str flush draw...defo agree with everyone here..its bet all the way..if he folds..he folds...
Just so gutting when they fold
I checked my 99 hand as you know,but diference was my opponent had already raised p/flop, so I thought he had a reasonable hand,and with 2 streets left felt I would get his stack.(or lose that amount obviously)
I was told by just about everyone that it was a mistake to check flop,and I said I would bet 1/2 pot next time.
like you say you don't want to lose customer,but a 1/2 pot here would be better than the check.
it's easier said than done though,isn't it....I know that more than anyone. lol
oh yeah,as borin says pull up to the max... every time you drop below it,and do it before the next hand is dealt.

it's unfortunate that no one has got a piece of this flop by the looks of it.
but you have done the right thing in betting to build pot.
if someone had 2 hearts or a q or trips or 2 pair,you would be getting a call.
I prefer a 1/2 pot bet though,or just a click over maybe.
keep doing it mate as every good player(not me obviously. lol) says you should,every time.
just bad luck this time.

Bet for value this flop hits a ton of his range too.
Yeah agree with everyone else. We really should be betting here for all the reasons stated above.
As for how much to bet, we want to get stacks in by the river so if you take a little time to work out in the above hand how much you need to bet on the flop and turn to set up a pot bet river shove it will help you in future hands to get maximum value. This is something a lot at 4nl never think about but it’s vital to squeezing every last penny out of your opponent.
This is 4nl and with the amount of people that love to call it’s easier to get the stacks in so sizing becomes really important.
But the first step is to bet and don’t worry if they fold. It happens. The value you get from betting in other hands will make up for the times they fold.
