$0.5/$1 full ring on crypto site. Table is sLA-P

Dealt [As] [Kd] in BB

MP call, MP+1 calls. (both rocks after 20 hands in PT) both have 0% PFR
SB completes. I raise to $3 trying to isolate a bit.
Both MP's calls, SB folds. We are about equally stacked.

FLOP: [7s] [3s] [Ts] Pot: $9,5

My dilemma here is that I don't know exactly how strong this hand is. Do I slowplay it, going for the nutflush for maximum payoff? Or do I start out betting and see where it goes, risking to take it down 'too soon' giving me a small payoff.

So what would you do, and why?



My action in white:

Bet out $5
Both fold after a bit of thinking.

IMHO, i'd bet about $5-$7 at it...that's enuf they may fold it they haven't hit something, so you can take it down right there, and if they call, you could have about 15 outs to hit, giving you a possible nice payoff, plus this lets you know where you stand...noone can have the nut flush, so they won't be too confident...if they RR you, then you may have a problem...plus betting it, puts YOU more in command and makes THEM react...
If you check it or bet small, THEY can bet bigger and put THEM a little more in command...
Depends if you have a good read on them or not...are they TIGHT and conservative? Loose and Wild?

I agree with wild Bill, this is not the time to slowplay. For a couple of reasons first you dont have a made hand, right now all you have is A high, someone with 2 pair is 2:1 ahead of you right now. Reason number 2 is you want to get money into the pot before you make your hand. If you check and it checks around and the spade hits you are going to get no action on your nut flush unless someone has the K and even then your not going to get his whole stack.

Seems like you agree with what I did, and why I did it. Just needed some confirmation about wether it was an ok play or not. Thank you for your replies. :D
