lead flop, every time.

I used to lead or check-raise flop as my standard but have found myself playing draws with 15 outs very passively on the hope of hitting and winning a bigger pot on the turn or river. Bad idea, I guess.

What do you do if you lead flop and are raised?

I have no problem getting all my chips in on this flop.

You can bet/3bet or you can c/r on flop. Turn, I prefer a lead. Once you've checked the turn, call and c/f river UI.

Even though the money is deep the straight flush draw is so strong I would bet out with the idea of putting in a third raise and pushing any turn.

Completing pre-flop is fine.

I'd lead with a pot-sized bet after the flop. You have 15 outs, and want to start building a big pot. A lot of times, your opponents will fold to this bet, which is okay. What you don't want is to keep everybody involved in a small pot.

I think I'm with OSU on this one - I don't mind getting everything in the middle after the flop.

After the turn, I probably check/call.

On the river I definately check/fold. Too bad it wasn't the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], cuz then you stack AT+

its no limit... bet bet bet that flop and dont worry about getting it in vs a set or JT. Do you like big stack bully poker? I do.
