Harder still to put them on quads without 2 on the board. |
How so? That's a read I make all the time. |
Heh -- hate money?
Seriously, I think you really have to put a standard continuation bet out here. First, estrop and your (semi-conscious) opponents will expect it if that's your usual move after raising preflop. Second, not doing it conveys more information than betting, minimizing the amount of money you'll get on later streets. Third, if you check these kind of flops (where you flop a set or quads or a flush or whatever), you'll get less respect when you are continuing on a stone bluff, and more people playing back at you, which sucks. Finally, any hand paying you off here (overpair, a2, frush draw) will call/raise your flop bet. Only way I think your check is good is if your opponent is the sort of stupid and aggressive player who interprets all checks as weak and bets into them. Estrop is not this sort of player....
