    Default Should've pushed the gas on the turn?

    I had this guy read perfectly on AQ or AK, so I decided to slowplay my AJ and let him give me money. However when the 3rd club came out I probably should have checkraised him, because the 4th club scared me and cost me the pot since he had AK, with the Kc. However, I think I would've just lost more money checkraising because with either the nut or 2nd nut flush draw I don't think there was any chance of him going away. Did I do the right thing or should I have pushed?

    Don't slowplay two pair, especially if you put him on TPTK, you'll make big pots this way.. ignore the fact that he sucked out a club flush on you. So, Bet the pot on the flop.

    Yeah with 3 clubs on the turn, gotta step on the gas to make him pay if he has a club draw.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
