anyone play this differently post-flop? i am aware that preflop could be better (my intention was to mix it up with mp1 and sb, both of whom suck, but keep the pot small until the flop). i have no reads on bb

you can reraise the flop, but other than that not much to do.

Fold preflop. Bet flop or check flop, i don't think it matters. If you bet flop, they'll probably check to you, so bet turn. I like your turn raise since you checked flop, but I think you need to raise it up a tiny bit more to like 200, then shove river and hope he pays you off with a Q.

Don't stress it anyway cause this happens, like, never... you just gotta keep getting money in there and hoping someone has a 2nd best hand.

Maybe I should write a post about how to extract value from a royal flush.

whoops, didn't realize you called a bet on flop. I probably reraise to grow the pot for a turn bet that someone will try to "catch up" on.
