Re: Flopped Boat Hand
Looks like I've been outvoted here, but I don't see what's so bad about the call flop / raise turn line here in position in a heads up pot.
What low limit live player is checkraising this flop and then not leading turn if not 3bet? As well, even if villain has a T (which I'm guessing he does), I think there are a lot of turn cards that could slow him down if we 3bet this flop (any spade, any card > T, OMG, you have a flush or a big full house); if any of these scare cards come if only calling the flop then I think it is less likely villain will be scared to lead. I've seen little old ladies with the nuts call down once 3bet on the flop.
There's also the possibility that a villain with a T might 3bet us on the turn if a low card comes, simply not believing that we have anything since we just called the flop.
I hardly ever slowplay but isn't this the perfect opportunity to do so?
