Default Re: I flopped the nuts: How do I extract value here?

more thoughts:

In this situation, I don't think to myself "how can I get more value?", I think, "How can I protect my lead?"

The answer is raise more on the flop. Your smallish reraise won't discourage people with a better flush draw or other things that might be worse now but could improve. Plus, if they do call your bigger raise, that's good for you too, since you still have the best hand at that point.

And again, that turn over-bet is only going to get called by something that beats it, so why do it?
