First read this: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...e=0#Post8857864

Also, c/r the flop because slowplaying on this board just costs you bets and 3-bet the river because you have the best hand pretty much always.

Thanks for showing me to the guide!

If I check raise the flop, do I bet out on the turn? Won't my opponent then probably just call down for 1 bet on turn and 1 on river instead of 2 on the turn and 1 on river most of the time?

If he has a hand he'd put more then one bet in with on the turn, he's probably 3-betting the flop. c/r'ing the turn tells him you have a monster. If you c/r the flop, he will often call down something weak believing you could be on a bluff. In other words, c/r'ing the flop let's your opponent make some big mistakes. Waiting for the turn allows him to play correctly a lot by either checking through or bet/folding. Therefore, c/r the flop.
