MG, I was surprised when you said you would raise on the flop. I was thinking of Brunson's advice in SS1 to check the flop with the nuts to let the table catch up. That was my thought anyway. I agree, in thinking it over now, that I should have raised on the turn. At the time I was just hoping someone would make a hand and play back at me. It never occured to me that my opponent had 66. She was probably going for a check raise on the flop and the turn and the result would have been the same, since she flopped a boat. It seems like those VERY FEW times I flop the nuts I never get any action and I just end up winning a small pot. I've never had anything like this happen before.
