firdell is SLAG over 200 hands

So yeah I flopped the nuts, but is my play pretty standard with two more streets?

depends how aware they are. Cold calling the flop raise is going to set alarm bells off for a decent player anyway but if they suck I probably just call
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

 I bet flop. I have a feeling the money got in here because they had good hands, not because of deception.

Reasons for betting out:
1) Flush draw
2) 50% of the cards to come are scare cards for either you or your villain (thus killing action)
3) it's a limped pot
4) position - the sLAG (aka most likely to bet/raise) is on your right. As played he raised, you 3 bet. This puts maximal pressure on the people in between, bad. If you bet and everyone calls, then sLag raises there is already a ton of dead money in the pot, good.

If the table is tight I'm leading this flop like 80% with nothing. If I catch any piece (including flush draws) I'm leading this flop 100%. So a flop bet will mean nothing to an observant opponent.

I agree with reasons 2 & 4. However, I don't think we should worry about the flush here b/c OP is holding 2 spades. I also disagree with #3. The fact that it is a limped pot, and therefore a small one, makes playing deceptively a bit more attractive. If the pot were larger, I would agree that would should play our hand in a more straight-forward manner. We flopped the nuts, we want to get paid for it. If we lead I think we risk picking up a very meager pot with our nut hand, especially since we already know that one of our opponents is a huge rock.

 lead flop like 95% of the time. i personally bet full pot or even slightly more.
Domin8, your final sentence shows that you need to work on your understanding of how to maximize expectation with nut hands.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.
