[D.L.M.]

If i need to elaborate on why a flop check is the dummest thing we could do, then thats too bad for you. as far as the bet size, id say that theres no reason to give anything but 2-1 to our villian on such a big pot, it also leaves less behind for him to get from us, the pot is goin to be huge on the turn no matter what happens, so why not leave less behind, and get good value from his draw if he has one.

It also disuades bluff raises. If im raised by this villian this deep after reraising preflop and leading the pot on the flop, im much more convinced that he has a good hand when raised.
