nutsinho will become famous soon enough
leading the flop is probably far better

why not hide you're hand strength Nutsinho? If you lead out strong and a ace comes if your opponent has qq or kk it might get them off their hand, but if you let them lead they might bleed off chips to you trying to force you off your hand. Plus you risk facing a big reraise which might not allow you to get a flop or they could have you out kicked. I wanna hear what you have to say Nuts.

I think the $1.50 is a great move in this hand. It sets up the play on the flop perfectly imo. Definitely standard in my book.

I still definitely want to hear Nuts response but I think leading is better than c/ring, because you get value from KK and QQ which will likely check behind. Also villain is likely to raise his draws hear, making a 3 bet very profitable.
Flopping quads and boats like its my job

You have top pair and the best draw. I don't always play this hand fast.

You can pick off multiple barrels while still having a lot of equity against better hands.

My line is check/call, check/call, maybe bet. If a club hits I would lead out.

I don't agree because;
- not all draws will barrel multiple streets
- we want to get it in against draws and that will most likely happen on the flop
- our equity against villains value range changes a lot on turn and river.
(our 'static' equity against villains value range isn't that great, but combined with our 'dynamic' equity it's great and at it's peak on the flop...if that makes any sense.
It's not like we're hitting the turn THAT much, so we want to get it in when our dynamic equity is at it's best)

I'm not sure, but I might like your line more if we're IP.
