    Default Check raise or stay aggressive?

    I was thinking about a CR in this hand but was I better off staying the aggressor in this hand? And what the hell was MP3 thinking???

    I wouldnt check raise into that board. The pot is too large that your CR isn't going to deny odds of drawing the flush. If someone had the trips they would have been nuts for playing the cap with 2x. They also would have reraised you. The best you can do is jam with what you have and hope overcards and the flush dont hit. You played it well IMO.

    Played just fine.... Best case scenario, you gain 1 bb from CR'sing the flop. Most likely you will break even since MP3 would probably fold on the turn, hence losing his BB call.... Then again, another very possible scenario is it gets checked around on the flop. CO is such a fish that hes not bettin nuttin.

    If you hadn't capped PF, then yeah you could have gone for the check raise. By closing action PF you need to start it again on the flop, very standard play here.

    The risk of checking here is that MP3 looks to have had most likely AK, you don't want to give him a free card here.

    You can't check-raise when you put in the last bet preflop. Well, you CAN... but you'll lose out on the flop bet more often when it gets checked around then you win the extra bet with the CR.
