2/4 B&M - Bet or checkraise monster flop that I capped preflop?

I think Bernie has pretty much been spot on. The people playing $2/4 generally don't raise or reraise without premium hands.

This is very table dependant. I've railed 2/4 games waiting for my table quite a bit because the games are close to where I usually wait and see 6 people to a flop for 3bets and the best hand being AJs or someone caps it w/ 99 or KQs all the time.[ QUOTE ]

If I was in this situation I would raise for value and information(Information being the most important in for low stakes).

This is backwards! EVERY time you bet, you should be betting for value. Betting/raising for info is a great way to lose chips. You can get lots of info without putting yourself in a spot to lose more money by mainly paying attention to what the players around you are doing and playing ABC poker. ABC poker is king at lower limit games.

The reraise screams QQ-AA, AK, and maybe AQ. I would call knowing I'm almost certainly behind if an A-Q hits and may still behind with a junky hand.

When you have the nuts in limit; bet it. No reason to be tricky. With a flop like this I'm only concerned about making the most money. They will call, but are all too likely to simply check without the nuts. If they have AA-QQ they will reraise, they will call with 2 overs and a huge pot.

The beauty with this situation is that I would have been re-raised with a cold call.

Now I slow play a bit and just call.

Slowplaying typically does not maximize profit as much as just playing your hand straight forward. Sometimes it is just best to flat call (ie looking for overcallers). I do not consider this "slow playing".

I check raise the turn and put in bets till I'm blue in the face after that. The only thing that might slow me down is an A-Q. Let them try and get lucky.

We don't need to get lucky.. we have a strong hand that we need to play well.
