Re: Wow I think I just killed the deck...
The last couple times I flopped a made hand I've concluded that checking is the right decision. Then I reconsidered for a couple reasons:
1) People are more likely to call a bet on the flop. Chances are that the turn won't improve their hand (the only real reason for checking), so they probably won't be much more likely to call based on that. If you bet now, they think they have two cards coming and will maybe call to try to hit.
2) I bet at almost every pot I've raised, so if anyone IS paying attention, I don't want to clue them in.
In summary: take them to value town, and if they fold you still won an ok pot.
