Post flop play - How do you play it and why ?
noble1:
this is where our mid/late stage tactics differ , ok some of you want to play this hand now on the flop and hope he has a over pair [thats ok each to there own,i was going by my experience of Big4390"s possible range] ..
I tend to favour taking pots pre-flop or on the flop, but by being the 1st raiser or if i"m calling a raise by being in position [especially if i have a lack of reads on my opponents] True its hard to play a set a wrong way and there numerous ways to get them paid off..The only thing i do not like here is leigh calling and being out of position with as how he puts it ""limited reads"" ;D , your heading for disaster sooner rather than later in big field high buy in mtts if this becomes a habit ...

From someone who has won numerous big field MTT"s this is exactly the sort of spot you need to get your chips in if you want to WIN rather than cash

Had a good chuckle to myself last night when watchin Tom "Durrrr" Dwan on High Stakes Poker (S05 EP04) last night. With 99 he hits trips on an all-spade flop against Eli Elezra (9s, Ts, Qs I think it was so a high straight-ing board too). He checks it ;)

Bit different when it"s a cash game. Tom probably had around 200-300 big blinds. If he had 26 I"m sure the money would have been in on the flop :)
