    Default You have to slowplay this, right?

    $30 rebuy event late in hour 2
    Your stack is T12500 which is about average.
    Blinds were 150/300 with an Ante

    You are UTG +2 and open raise 3xs BB with AQs (spades)
    2 callers - button and BB.

    FLOP: Ks Jh 10 (you have just flopped the nut straight!!!)

    You check, button bets 1/3 pot; BB folds----Your move is????

    Re-raise, flat call?

    TURN: 2s (can you say brick? You also pick up 4 to nut flush to go with your nut broadway str8)

    Pot now has about 3K in the middle, do you check, bet out, if you bet out how much? Do you continue the slow play?

    Opponent has almost EQUAL stack to you.
    Send lawyers, guns and money - the sh*t has hit the fan!

    I probably smooth call flop and lead turn 1/2 PS or so - obv. you're OK with giving free cards here, I'm more worried the board will do something spooky and you don't get paid off on the end.

    Sucks to take the bluff away but if he has nothing it's tough to believe he leads again on that board. Even if he has say KQ he may check behind on the turn.

    I would bet about 600; it's tempting enough to make anyone with two broadways call and you might even get reraised by two pair.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.
