Flopped flush hand

This is from a 1/2 game at Foxwoods.

UTG - huge stack, maybe a pro plr, aggr. and loose (>$3000)
MP - very big stack, also maybe pro (what are they doin at 1/2?) (>$1000)
BB - me ($120)

I've been at the table for about 3 hours and had seen few good hands. I've only seen like 10 flops and have gotten involved in about 5 hands with mixed results.

I pick up 4c 6c

I get UTG and MP limping in.

Flop is 2c 8c 10c

Flopped a flush. I check.

Check. Check. Qs

I bet $25. UTG raises to $50. MP calls.

I push all in for my remaining $70.

My plan was to give a free card hoping it won't be a club and to disguise my hand. I could then move all in so with one card to come they wouldn't likely have odds to call. What I wasn't planning on was this:

UTG calls my $70 and opens a side pot for $100 with MP. MP stares him down for 30 seconds and raises it to $300. UTG raises another $100 and shows him Qd Th. I was feeling OK with that. I felt MP had 2 pr as well.
MP called.

River was 8s.

UTG shakes his head and checks, MP turns over Qc 8h.

Obviously, my check on the flop was a risky play. It almost worked perfectly and I would have tripled up had the MP not made one of his 10 outs.

Thinking on the day, I played well but made one big mistake: sitting at a table with two huge stacks.

Thoughts? Comments?

I have no problem with huge stacks when you have a tiny one. You can double or triple up fairly quickly. I don't mind your play here. It was creative, but I would have played it differently...

I would have fired a good bet at the pot on the flop. You were aiming for deception by checking a flush. To me that's not deceptive. That's typical for a high flopped flush and risky for a low flopped flush. By slowplaying you represent the high one, while putting the low one in danger. In my opinion you're not gaining any deception points by slowplaying till the turn with a low flush since the high one gets represented anyway. I would just bet the hand. My advice would have been to slightly overbet the pot and seem subtley bothered by any call. You protect your low flush, and top pair will look you up.

Could you clarify this please Ron? How can he improve on the turn with the small made flush? Picking up a gutshot str8 flush draw is the only way i can see, and that's risky because anyone sticking around probably has a bigger club so you're on 4 outs. I must not be reading it right.



Edit: Lol nevermind, a second after hitting Submit i realized what you meant. Ignore the dumby plz :oops:
