given the questions in this hand, i feel betting the flop is excruciatingly terrible, like a monumental mistake

why--i think it makes the hand a lot easier to play. If I bet 2k on this flop, I take control of the hand,

why would betting 2k on the flop make it so much easier to play and give you so much more control of the hand than 1200 did? because betting 1200 certainly didnt help you at all did it?

because betting 2k makes it more expensive for nick to cr this flop (he would need to make it something like 8k, making my decision shove/fold, rather than call/shove/fold. by betting 1200, which I think is definitely a lot different than 1700, it allows him to bluff cr more cheaply.

Do you not think his range is wider here than if I bet 2k on this flop and he cr'd to like 7500?

If I check and button bets, is my plan to donk a non AKQ non spade turn and get it in? Also it puts me in a lot of spots where I have to check call down here which I'm not sure is that fun v. the btn.


What do you guys think nick's range is here given the way he played the hand?

Thanks, sorry for all the questions, this was a confusing hand.

Also, if you assume the flop bet was bad (which I do not necessarily agree with--I think my underbet was a lot worse), what do you do given action?

Thanks,
