Re: How to maximize expectation? (.25/.50 live game 5handed)
Live play is great, there's a lot involved with table image. Assuming you have a good read on the players, I like the way you started this hand. You expect UTG to bet out, and he does expectingly so. You have such a monster of a hand, there's not much that can catch up. If anything you don't need to make your move on the flop, it's good to let weak-tight catch his flush, or slow play his Q. I would shove the turn, chances are TAG will fold and Weak-tight will call. If you just called on the turn... yes TAG might call behind you getting a little bit more, but if he doesn't have a Q or club, he's outta there, also Weak-tight will be trying to figure out what you're calling with, with possible trip queens, quads, boat, flush on the board, a turned flush draw? not likely. Weak-tight will be less inclined if checked to on the river, and if you're to bet out first on the river, why not on the turn? Make your move on the turn, you've gotten as much out of them as you probably could.
