[Closed] NL5 99, how to play the nuts?

Hand 1:

I like minraising the minraiser here on flop ♦. If he calls, bet out turn halfpot and shove any river.

Hand 2: Reraise Turn because the board gets drawwy.

Hi,
1) 9 quads:I'd call flop as you did,I think I'd only call turn because not so many draws to hit for him and bet river inviting bet.If he have no hand to beat potentially trips on the river,he will not cal even minraise on turn.But on river he can find some medium hands to call or maybe try to bluff u by raising.
2) TRIPS IS NOT THE NUTS. you should play it fast -raise flop big/4bet if need to,
bet,raise,reraise,push turn-max pressure on flop and turn.
On river I'd fold to overbet because every Q beats you.Too obvious if opp is not
habitual bluffer on dangerous boards.
Good luck.

ok, thanks for the input guys. Playing the nuts is the hardest of all I think. Anything less than getting all of the money into the pot seems dissapointing.

I totally agree that I played the 2nd hand all wrong. I'd just joined the table and hadn't gained my bearings.

thanks again,
Tomo

1) I also like "click it back" option.
This way he can make another attemt to bluff you out on the pot or call with flushdraw/Ax.
Then you can bet 2/3 pot on the turn and rest on the river.
2) I think calling flop and turn is fine, especially against potsize bets.
Ugly river card. Since pot is small I would fold.
He won´t shove on that board AK.

Hand 1:
Make it a pot size bet on the flop, it is two to a flush (I'm not saying a flush would beat quads, duh) if he has the ace he is likely to reraise you anyway, if he only has the flushdraw, well let him pay to see it so the pot is big by the time he hopefully hits his flush, if he does not have the flushdraw but the ace any future flushcard will kill the action just like the action will be killed from the flushdraw if the flushcard does not hit. Just bet it hard even if you have the absolute nuts, it's the only way to build the pot and he is going to call you with the flushdraw anyway.

Hand 2:
Reraise big on the flop and turn. All the money should be in the middle before that nasty rivercard anyway and you would be able to complain about a suckout instead of worrying how you played.

Conclusion; Bet big.
Not saying you should do this but I've been experimenting with overbetting 2x the pot lately, seems I am still getting callers from flushdraws, unbelievable. Think I'm gonna start open shoving soon.
