Is there a case for flatting the flop here?

Not really, if he's leading into you like this you would suspect he would stand a raise and want to take another card. Even if you don't raise the flop, you're raising any turn. Better to see if he can stand action here and start building the pot.

I don't get his line at all :S The only thing I can think of is a pocket pair under the board, or complete air. Even smaller PP's might float. Raising the flop is good anyway, there's a chance you can be outdrawn here.

flatting flop, then raising turn is straight out of the tagfish handbook for an uber strong hand.

when raising flop, people give you much less respect in my opinion, and are more likely to put you on a draw, especially on a wet flop like that one.

i would just keep raising until it gets all in the middle.

Nailed it in one. I thinking we just PM Kleemann from now on before we post in hand discussion. He's usually right.

LOL. What a twist. benny the cunt advocating a raise.


Wow I shouldn't be on the forum while drinking. Everything seems so... not normal.

Thanks guys, yeah i thought i played it ok.

Was just a bit annoyed that i had a string of awesome hands, smashed a few flops and ended up getting like $3 out of it... But thats better than losing i guess...
