How do you milk people when you have the nuts?

**Lamby100** · 07-18-2006

I was playing last night and I had raised pre-flop with KQs, the flop came KQK

the only problem is that the other 2 in the pot with me simply didn't have anything. The turn cam another Q and I just knew I wasn't getting anything out of it. I put my usual size bet out and as expected everyone folded.

It happend again when I flopped quad Kings.

How can I milk it?

Make a small "I'm bluffing at this pot" bet on the flop :-]

Or if you're in position check check and hope someone bluffs the river.

Well, I guess it would mean having a read on the other players in the pot. If someone is very aggresive I would check to them a few times and get paid off when they bluff at it. Then once I think they are on to me, I would bet out.

If its a tight player, make a value bet. If its a $10 pot. Kick out $2 where your saying "I dont know if my hand is good anymore".

I would probably bet out on the flop because I always bet. I bet when I have it and I bet when I don't. Hopefully someone has something and comes along for the ride or hopefully someone gets sick of me betting and they think they can take it away from me with a decent sized re-raise. The only exception to this would be if there's a really aggressive player in the hand with me. Then I'd be more inclined to check it and hope I can get him to bluff.

Do what you would do if you had a weak hand suck as JJ with KKQ flop or AK on rags flop. Fire a 1/2 - 2/3 pot continuation bet then check turn if called and hope someone trys to push you off.

exactly. if you check the flop then pull some crazy check raise on the turn or something, a smart player will think "hes definantly strong. what hands that raise pf check raise the turn?"

the idea is to try to build a pot by the river, not trap somone for one bet somewhere down the line. if nobody had anything then you were not going to make much anyway

The trouble with slowplaying is you can lose a lot of money if for example.

You have 77 and flop is 723 rainbow

Your opponent bets, you flat call

Turn is an A
your opponent checks, you bet
Your opponent says "fuck KK, nice catch" and folds.

If you get that kind of flop, I'd overbet. Make it look like a steal. I think it's your best shot. Whether you check now and on every street and hope someone makes a bluff (not likely unless they nailed two pair) or overbetting now hoping someone thinks you're full of shit doesn't matter.

This strategy will make you the most money over time... if the guy folds to this continuation sized bet then you were likly not going to make money slowplaying.
