I was playing a $5-$1 tourney last night on pokerrroom.com. The very first hand I was BB and dealt 4d6d. No one raised so I saw a free flop. There were only 2 other callers.
The flop was 2d3d5d. Good thing it was online cause I didn't contain my excitement
However, since it was the first hand with a three flush on the flop I didn't know how to lead without everyone just folding. So I check called the flop. All three of us are still in. The turn was a middle card, not a diamond. I checked again, but everyone checked. I bet the river, only about 2BB and got called and took down the pot.
How would you play this? Is there a strategy (in a tourney) to possibly extract more chips from this? Should I have bet on the turn to purhaps appear to be trying to steal with a bluff? How much would purhaps be callable but not look like a trap?
I think if i would have got this hand later in the tourney when the blinds were higher compared to the stack sizes purhaps it would have played differently.
