play the hand like ur drawing or your weak, and hope some1 comes over the top... idk... im not much of a cash player, but MTT is my game, i think it depends on table image and the player/players ur against, just put ur self in there situation with a range of hands work out what you would do if u was them, E.G (there u) and they makes the raise, then play weak, would u come over top, feeler bet... try 2 push them off etc... if that makes any sence lol!

if you flop an unbeatable hand (or close to it) you just have to use your gut feeling, i would make min bet (and quickly) dont ponder it to long, and hopefully someone or everyone calls, on the turn i would then think for a few seconds and check, if you get raised here, take your time and just call, then on the river i would min raise, there should be a bit of cash in the pot at this time so you should get called, possibly re raised because your opponent smelt weakness in the bet. but really who the f**k knows without seeing the draw.

If you flopped the nuts and opponent is only checking it down and doesnt raise you can do it like this: Just wait till ur time is running out, many times opponent things your sittin out and bet on the river hoping to collect the pot
Now you can call or raise and a little more chips coming ur way

Just play as you would normally play when you miss. So if your a checker than check, if you like to raise scary flops then do so. For me i tend to notice some one has flopped nuts cus they play diffrent, take to long/short of a time to check than normall or make a raise bigger/smaller than they normally do, over excited. I think normally best to wait till river to put chips in (let them cath a hand) but it does all depend, sometimes you can min raise and some ppl see that as weak and try push you off pot.
I definitively have to agree with B1gfoot. You should just play like you normally play when you miss especially if you are sited at a table for few hours and have already builded a table image. Best is when you have nut hand and someone is raising and reraising all the time... There all you need to do is call and push after the river. I had this situation last week. I flooped quad 9 and 1 guy was raising and reraising with other one, they both hit straights on the river and both checked me after my all-in after river (80 EUR) so i made almost 300 EUR in one single hand at 0.50/1.00 table

yes thats a dream you have an almost unbeatable ( ok straight flush or royal flush, but i´ve seen a straight flush once until yet against 3 four of a kind´s) and the others have a full house or straight they spend and spend and you get and get

sometimes you have bad luck the hit straights and three of a kind, you have to be careful but u have to raise sometimes too just feel it out dude with more poker experience it will all make sense soon if you keep practicing

Me folding the nuts :{
would have been a nice pot for you that one, for the question: well I'm more the kinda player that traps the opponent with check-behind on flop+turn and making about half-potsize bets on the river to let them pay me off, sometimes i just overbet the river too, just to make myself look weak, that's a great tool i guess

I must say, and i play mostly heads up so my opinion might be different, but its only based on my opponent and the current game flow...And to my play style i almost always play my nuts very strong, as I have builded up a an image of me continuation betting alot and stealing pots. But again, this is for heads up so its alot different
Posted by frisellan: so you hit a monster hand and don't get paid off what is a player to do.
How do you play a monster to max profit potential?
give me some insight.
I check no one raises I raise everyone folds
ect ect
If the players are really passive then you should be agressive. That's obvious. Of course they can trap you but when you play agressive they won't read your hand so you can trap them.
