    Default $2-TT+SD... should I c/raise the flop or open bet it?

    --MP3 is aggressive and he's been limping trash all over the place. What's my correct line here?

    Personally I would bet the flop for 250 or so, as played check/raise all-in on the flop. You have an overpair plus the the top end of an OESD, this is a very strong hand but one that you don't mind taking down now because there is a potential flush draw on the flop.

    As played, I would bet or check/raise all-in on the turn.

    As you played the turn, river is obv fine - you hit your straight, if opp had JT or a set (full house) well you're paying them.

    This hand actually brings up another question for me. Often times there is a player AI PF, and he receives two or more calls. I usually want to let my opponent see all five cards to increase the chance of eliminating the AI player. However, my opponent hardly ever follows this rule along with me.

    Question: When is it correct to let my opponent see all five cards? And when is it correct to play the hand as if no one's elimination is at stake? What's the math behind each situation?

    This early in the tourney I wouldn't worry about the player AI. If it was the bubble that's different, but here I would just play the hand as if the player wasn't AI. Besides, you have a real hand, it's not as if you are pulling a stone cold bluff here.
