SLOW PLAY OR bet your royal flush
over the years ive seen alot of hand postings on here , but ive never seen this question what do most people do in this situation just thought it would be kind of cool, to see what diffrent players would do in this situation flopping the royal flush slow play or bet or raise. you and 2 other players your in postion and everyone checks it to you.

Aflop bet against certain opponents would throw them off. I wouldn't go all in, but maybe throw a smallish bet out there to see whats up with their hand.
That being said, of course checking is preferable in most situtions. Let the field catch up.
I had a royal flush at Brantford 2/5 Limit.
QTs preflop.
7 players to the flop.
Made it on the turn ... I bet got 4 callers.
River pairs the board.
Everyone checks to me.
I Bet on the river, call, call, call, check-raise!
At this point I had to think if I wanted overcallers or should just bet..
I re-raise.
Fold, fold, fold, Call.
Should I have just called there to induce overcallers?
I decided it would be nice if I got into a raising war.
I had about $800 in front of me and the check raiser had about $300.
If he had quads... ummm
Hummmm...

If you automuck .. it isn't too bad a leak in your game since it occurs so rarely...
I guess I must be a moron. I don't want to win the minimum with the nuts.
Add me to the moron list; in a cash game I would come out betting hoping someone hit top pair or two pairs. I'm not going to get paid anyways if no one hit so why check it. Not unless there is a high hand jackpot or bad beat pot. In a tournament, I may check it to the turn hoping someone will catch up.
This being said - I would bet smallish. Just checking in position and then raising someone on the turn reaks of a huge hand and they'd be more inclinded to fold right there when raised.
I would raise because that's what donkey's say when they hold the nuts and it has been checked to them.
I've never made a royal in live play...2 times online...and both times someone pushed all in ahead of me because they had either the nut flush or fh...
for the math people here (which I'm not) what would be the odds of flopping a royal??
to answer the question of this thread, I'd be checking/calling to the river...if one or more people were betting/calling I'd be re-raising, trying to make the most of my hand. I may make a raise on the turn if there was someone betting into me, but only if I had a solid read that they were capable of calling...If I think they're folding to a raise a call is in order. IMO
19,599 to 1.
Thanks for that...it's going into the vault of useless info
What are the odds of someone actually re and reraising you, capping on every street? That happened too. T'was a great hand it was.
