I've been experimenting with another way to play this situation. I flopped an absolute monster--the nut-flush with the nut-low draw. 5 other people see a flop and it's checked to me in mid-position. Usually I would make a teaser bet. Something small enough so that the lows feel comfortable chasing and if I'm really lucky another flush will think I'm bluffing and try to run me down. Well, I decided to let it check through this time. I was hoping that the low would hit on the turn. Because of the way I played on the flop, my hand is very well concealed, making it easier to find someone with either the low or some non-nut flush who will jam with me. Does this sound sensible or fancy play syndrome? Of course, it's risky if the board pairs and the low doesn't get there. However, I think it might be worthwhile to risk that happening to increase the potential for a huge reward. Of course, in the hand in question below my plan totally backfired and it gets all f*cked up. I played the hand so weird I was totally lost on the river. I probably should have aborted on the turn and just raised the max. But what do you think about the flop check through?
