You have a paying customer and the goal is to make him make a mistake. His correct move to make is to fold, so you wanna entice him to bet or maybe even raise you.

There will be very few instances where you'll get action from any sort of bets on that board, except maybe a check raise on the river.

You can be lucky that he bet, so I'd just call and see the next move of him.

If you're totally lucky, he has an A-high flush and you can squeeze all the chips out of him. :)

Don't play too aggressive but let him do the work and maybe he thinks he can bluff you away. 🤣

I will probably play exactly the same as you. Wait for all in in the river or just raise in the river. Depends how offensive opponents would play earlier.

Looking at this hand, I thought you had a royal flush at the end of the hand. You don’t tell us all something, you are probably a very modest player!!:love::LOL:;)

Indeed, that was my question, how would you play a royal flush knowing that there is no higher one since only someone can have the flush with the A but in the end that would always be the best hand :D

I only paid the bets that the other two made until the river and on the river I went all in and one of them called with a pair :D

If they raise before me, it's no problem, I'll let them fatten the pot and I'll raise back on the river when everyone has already pot-committed.
If they don't raise, the question is more difficult.
Here, it will probably be difficult to pull chips into the pot, but it is worth trying with smaller raises, just in case...

The first thing you should do is miss a turn after if your opponent missed you will have to bet on the turn a small bet if he calls it then place twice more bet and get on the river

It all depends on the situation at hand.
There is also a way to go all-in by guessing that the enemy is a normal flash / aiming.

I had a similar hand where I was dealt quads and I acted first and checked to the river. My opponent who had bubkis went all in for $125.00. There was less than a dollar in the pot until then. Oops.

Hello :)
Streetflash is one of the few hands, but unfortunately sometimes if we are facing good opponents we don't win any chips with it.
In the event that the opponents do not show any reaction, all you have to do, my friend, and if you are lucky, is to wait until the river until one of the opponents gets something "submarine skill", and then deal with the opponent's reaction in a calm manner to the extent that you make him reassuring To give you as many chips as possible of his will.
Good luck

I think that you need to play a call and wait until the opponent collects some kind of combination !!!

In such cases, I play like I don't have anything yet and only think highly at the end.

Awesome hand. I'd just check and let them bet until the river when I'd bet bigger.
One more time we should say depends...on how the players have been playing and how they will. You have the nuts, a straight flush and two streets ahead, so at a first sight, all you have to do is to show that you don't have even a flush, playing slow and hope to one of the opponents make a hand and raise for you to pay...and afterwards a possible all in favoring you in the river.
This is how I see it.
