    Default set of ducks, your play?

    Is a check/raise here the best play or is it too likely to scare everyone off? Would it have been better to lead out? How do you play this one?

    yep. in we go. This is a live flop with straight and flush draws. Take it down if you can. Call any reraise AI

    I see the pot sized bet there as him holding AK or KQ. Looks like a good scenario for slow play. You isolate to one plr who repp'ed TPTK and you play like you are drawing: weak leads, minraises, check, etc. Against a loose plr you can sometimes get them pot comitted and suck 'em dry. There's always the risk that he's also got the flush draw but I would give a card here and hope to build the pot on the turn.
