Default Re: How do I get money into this hand?

This is one of the rare cases where slowplaying on the flop is correct. But even if the turn card was unlikely to help any of your opponents I would have bet it to get some chips into the pot for a bigger value bet on the river. It just happens that you flop a monster and none of your opponents has a second best hand good enough to continue. You could have made some more chips, but not that much more.

You can make a bet of like 40 or 50 on the flop. Anybody with two face cards, an Ace or a Queen will call you, building a pot early. If these guys don't have any of these hands, they aren't calling anywhere anyways, so you might as well start building early.

As played, you absolutely have to bet the turn to get some money in. Do you notice the Button over-called on the river with a busted flush draw, 4-3 high??? He would have paid you on the turn to draw to his flush.
