Not sure I like the slowplay. Call as played.

Not a good board to slowplay on, bet the flop

What he said.

ok lets say i bet $1.5 KK &amp; AK calls definitely, and will probably give me action will AQ call? the rest of the hands will probably fold.

if i slowplay and a flush/straight card hits i still have outs to a boat?
is there some other optimum amount i should bet?

[vulturesrow]

3/4 pot minimum. The guy raised preflop, its likely this board hit him somehow. And you really dont want to see another broadway card hit the board.

So you want him to draw free and get ahead of you so he will bet? That makes no sense.

Yes, you have the board crushed, but your hand is vulnerable to some of the holdings in villain's range. You aren't getting another dime out of AQ in this hand so just bet the flop.

Yeah, you cant slowplay a flush draw and gutshot board. I dont like to slowplay at all because I feel like whenever I do, my set loses to the jerkoff who called with 99 on a board of AJ8 and got lucky enough to runner runner a flush

WAY too tight of a range for NL5.

The problem with checking this flop is that you are giving infinite odds to draws while your reverse implied odds are huge. You already implied that you don't intend to get away from the hand if a third flush card hits so why give someone a chance to draw for free if that's the case? Get money in while you're ahead, don't wait until you're playing catch up.

Edit: Oh, and as played, you shouldn't even think about folding. You're behind JT and that's it.

I agree with everything said above.

One other point -- if you have been c-betting all flops where you raised preflop, a check on the flop (w/position) will look suspicious and you might not get anything out of the villain.
