Thanks for your help,major19

I agree with grantorino. Your raise to 6000 is either too big or too small. I think shoving would basically tip off your hand as not being a big pair, so I wouldn't like that as much as I would like a raise to about 4200-4800 total.

You absolutely must c-bet the flop, though. You've built an enormous pot and then basically given up on winning it. Alot of his range for limp-calling pre-flop will be small pocket pairs, suited cards or two high cards and alot of those will simply fold for your c-bet. Even against those hands that don't fold we're very likely to have two overcards to hit. (It's difficult to put a limp-caller on a range, especially with these stacks and bet-sizes. However, we know it's highly unlikely that they limp-call with big pocket pairs or AK)

So bet the flop and call for the rest if he moves all-in. Even though we are unlikely to have the best hand if he moves all-in, we're likely to have two overcards to any pair and the pot odds will be huge. The pot is far, far too big for you to not try to take it down.

To All,thanks for theadvice.

Agree with BorinLoner. The check on the flop would suggest that you've missed the flop or for some reason trying to slow-play a set.

By the time you're betting the turn, he's got his flush draw and is going to call here. As advised by the others, must c-bet the flop.
