[Dimitzu]

Like it or should I raise immediately on the flop?

As a beginner....I like it.

SB's call PF seems to rule out him having the other 2 Kings. Seems to me that the likelihood of you losing to a draw is quite low but the likelihood of everyone folding after you raise the flop is quite high. So you got more out of the hand.

I like the slow play here. This board is as ideal as it gets to slow play top 2. The only hands that will have more than 3 outs against you are A2.

Given the uncoordinated nature of the board, this is probably the ideal place to do it.

I raise these hands on the flop... might be a bad play though.

[tjosan]

Damn I was way off... oh well you live and learn.

Think I'll back to playing, I'm aiming at 500 played hands atm :P

[CoachDirty]

Raising this flop is not a bad play.

NH.

There's no reason to raise this flop. At best, villians have 3 outs.

Depending on reads, I may even wait til the river.

[DeuceKicker]

What read would make you wait till the river?

Half my winrate comes from bets I save with riverraisers

If you have to slowplay, this is a fine place to do it, and a fine way.

Not waiting for the river is probably right, too. BTN may have folded, regardless, and it would suck to have SB check the river and then fold to your bet.
