    It depends on the player your facing.

    If you are playing an observant tricky player i feel the right move is to make a continuation bet arround 70% of the time as a check will look far more suspicous to an observant player and if you cont bet he may come over the top of you. This has worked for me many many times and often enduces tricky players to check raise/raise you with nothing but A high (happened to me like 20 times when i hold sets!).

    In this case the money is going in no matter what. I dont see anyone folding kkk in a $1 tournament.

    But well played anyhow... SHIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

    Its just if I were playing i would be more concerned about a check (well, that actualy depends on your previous play. If you cont bet flops like 90% of the time then i would be far more worried by your chek than if you had cont bet).

    Hope this helps

    I also like the faster play by betting out the flop. A lot of players expect you to slow play a big hand.

    Also by betting the flop then you can get an idea of where he's at straight away, like if he re reraises you then you could cold call then check the turn to induce a bluff perhaps, or you can just go screaming over the top again and make sure that you get your money in ahead.

    But you did play that guy ok, he paid you off, so sweet action.

    I am a big fan of fast playing my big hands, but sometimes it isn't correct. Just because you floped a monster doesn't mean anyone else has a piece of the flop. In a micro sng, i don't mind your play at all. You have to let someone catch something, that way you can have a nice stack at the bubble when they go broke.

    Really think you played after the flop ok. all that matters is you got all your chips.
