    I probably played this wrong, but I thought if I bet it, it might conceal my hand more. Oh well, what do you think?

    I think that's a good flop to lead out at...you'll get action from lots of hands. Too bad nobody had one.

    you could have checked the flop, but then when you show aggression later in the hand, it looks to much like a slowplayed ak, set, or flush. i like the bet on the flop, maybe would have bet a little less, make it look like a probe bet with the ace of clubs or something, and pray that someone flopped two pair, or has the ace of clubs and will play back at you.

    I just made a straight flush in a $5 cash game. Four people in the pot, checked round to me, and I min bet. Everyone folds. This was two hands after I made quad twos, and only got a little out of them. I would have to get quads and make a straight flush on the tightest micro cash table going...

    you didn't even spell stressful right, if you are going to be a dick, you can at least not sound stupid doing it.

    It might not be correct, but I'd probably check behind in that situation.

    If someone has a hand like K-Q or K-J of hearts, I don't think they'll call a flop bet, but they might call a turn bet if the turn is a 2 of diamonds or something.

    Then again, maybe you can bet the flop to get value out of a guy with a lone ace or king of clubs.

    I think table dynamics matters less than joey made it out to be. I mean, in a 5.50 tourney nobody really pays a lot of attention to stuff like that. Not to mention that in a multi-way pot on a meta-coordinated board, people probably won't just make their usual c-bet.
