Flopped a monster, did I play it right?

Hi,

I flopped this monster last night and was wary of scaring anyone away! As it was the turn and then river helped me and my opponent went all in, but should I have bet harder or earlier incase the river had not been so helpfull?

Cheers
Wilfie

Id bet the flop.

People at this level call with anything anywayyyyyyyy

raise it preflop

you aren't always going to flop a boat, but your opponents who limp in after you may hit something that kills your big pp that you will have a hard time letting go.

If you do raise it pf, you will still probably get the limper calling, and you will have an easier time getting his chips in the pot when you like the flop because the pot is bigger, and he is more likely to stay in because he thinks those are 'his' chips he has put in there.

dear god please raise preflop

I hadn't spotted that pre-flop play, cheers. It certainly looks criminal now it's been drawn to my attention :roll:

For your bankroll's sake, I hope that wasn't sarcasm.

Definately not sarcasm, sorry if anyone thought it was. Probably should have posted a differant face.
