This isn't about crying about bad beats, it's a serious question about my game. I've been getting crushed when I flop the nuts. In the last week I've flopped two nut flushes, a nut straight and two boats and gotten sucked out on each time. Both boats were the right end of the boat, one was queens full of tens (he had KK and rivered the K) and the other was kings full of jacks (he had AA and rivered the A). This isn't online bitching either as the kings full of jacks hand happened in a casino.
Is there ever a time to fold the nuts? I mean if I flop a nut flush or straight and bet and then get re-raised to $600 to $700 I pretty much know that he's flopped a set. I also know that I am still a huge favorite to win but in the last week I've tracked that I've lost over $2,000 when going all in after the flop. It seems to me (and it's not my nature to do it) that slow playing the nuts can only get you in trouble. But should I slow play the nuts to make sure that I still have the nuts after the river? Does anybody do this?
