Default Re: Play a Hand With the Masters #1 Flop

You don't have control of the hand - a raise on the button after just one limper doesn't convery any great show of strength. I think any good, reasonably aggressive player will check-raise the flop with any two, and you DO have a few outs of hitting a decent draw on the turn. A flop bet would be a total waste of chips.

We're not heads-up, there are three players to this flop. A check-raise would be more likely heads-up. Three-handed, if someone hit something strong on this particular flop, or had an overpair, they're less likely to check and allow everyone a free card with the 9/10 presenting possible draws on board.
