$5 NLHE Full Ring: Flopped a FH - slowplayed

I generally never check the flop if I have anything above Top Pair mainly because I win less, I have less information and can give free cards. However in this situation as I had the Nuts and chances they had much were slim I checked. Ok to slowplay here?

Yes check the flop is good imo; lets villain(s) fire w/ air or other second best, as played i like it. But you could prob. bet the turn, but it depends on the villains fold to turn cbet, otherwise WP.

Because they are both short looks fine. Although I think you need to bet turn, then bet river, obviously getting it in if raised anywhere.

I'd fold AJ utg pre-flop full ring.

As played check followed by c/r against two people pretty much showed the strength of your hand and I really don't think this line is optimal at all. I much prefer bet flop as you normally would, these are 5NL players, you really don't need to take ultra creative lines against them.

bet flop because it looks weaker than check raising

The table often folded all the way round to the blinds. From MP I raised several times and won the blinds so I was slightly widening my opening range while waiting to tighten up if I got more callers/3bets.

How much would you have bet? 3/4pot?

My reasoning was if they miss the flop they are folding to any bet. Therefore check and give them a card, hoping for a scare card which may induce one to bluff or even smack their range. Obviously I didn't get my scare card so I thought a bet would fail to hide my strength but looking back my check-raise doesn't hide my strength at all.

I still believe checking the flop gives me the biggest potential equity. However I would bet the turn. How much would you bet? 1/2 if there is no scare card or pot if there is?

flop id probably bet 1/2 pot

bet the flop

check flop followed by baluga line does not give you the greatest equity, your range at this point is basically full houses. I'd probably bet about 61% of the pot on the flop. The I have a super strong hand therefore I check line is just fishy.

Ok. In future I'll go with a 1/2 pot sized bet. (where have you got 61% from Blue? That seems awfully precise.)

All of your feedback is greatly appreciated guys, thanks.

I just did a few calculations and that came out as the best sizing.

Would you mind showing me your calculations and reasoning if you get chance Blue?
