this is two examples of my style whit nuts and monster proyets
well there this is my asnwer look his actions obviusly he try a bluff on flop then if i check on turn he will check to river then the hand dont will change and i will show my hand free but if i raise on turn he fold and the other players dont see the hands this is soo important.. why?? because the others players can see your style

Mago, nice hand buddy. Hope you continue to do well and win lots of pots like that one!
Massit, I do that sometimes too... but overall I prefer to muck the hand.
By the way, there is a site where instead of showing both cards, you have the option of showing only one of them. Great option I found at a poker site.

wow nice job on the royal flush... i hope that i can take in all of this information from all you guys and better my game im doing ok but not as close to at the level you guys are at.. keep up the great posts
thanks for the comments there are the explications of the hands..
First hand
PreFlop
I raise preflop whit my QK suited why? got position and got a good carts to raise in a shorthanded tables
Flop
You think why dont call the raise??? maybe i can win more??
Well he raise 22$ on a pot of +- 18$ this is strange why a agreesive players raise a little more than pot size well all agreesive players play like that when got:
1- flush drw 2- open str8 3- high pair whit low kicker 4- Nothing
If you need know what got the other player then make a re-raise like 50$ its ok for the pot size then can happends two things
1- Call 2- Raise all-in
why not fold? this players dont will fold if got a drw hand or a high pair
then we know it he call and now e got the best hand
Turn
he check and now why im bet? i can check too and on river maybe hes all-in.
Well remember he call on flop and of course he got nothing just trying a bluff well the bluffers pay the prize i raise a little more than middle pot size and he fold and of course we got the new fish on the table
Second Hand
Simple...
Preflop AK suited a great hand to shorhanded of course raise 4 BB to increases the pot size then someone make a stupid re-raise of 25BB WoW this guy had a pocket maybe AA KK QQ or some players raise whit JJ well lets see what you got call.
Flop
wtf! str8 flush and a great flop to a high pocket if he got a high or another AK then hes mine I raise his all-in 150$ and of course if he raise preflop then he will call us on a flop bad luck QQQ vs TJQKA
if you see im on a little more than 800$ on the same table thanks to the sme player "the fish"
it is depends on you image at the table, on notes to other players, etc. sometimes raise, sometimes 3-bet are good, sometimes I playing "calling station" to the river, sometimes .. but now I playing cash PLO where slowplay is very different than slowplay in NLH
look to other way to playing good hand (it isn't me, hand from one poker forum, player had notes to the opponent):

Maybe he did hit the flush and the other guy thought he hit a Full House, most likely he was trying to steal the pot or even had KK or QQ. We will never know! Now, because of $19 the other guy didn´t call, so my guess is he was bluffing and didn´t want to show his cards!
Posted by Mago666: well i dont know but it looks a little risky whit the flush but congrats for the pot great hit
Hero - is a good player, i said he had notes to opponent. he knew what there will be overbet on river on any two (opponent was maniac), and his card are very good to any two . I just showed with this hand what there are many ways to play cards right.
hehehehe yeah i see the hand on other forum but anyway its a little risky for the 9 on river maniac or not this dont means he dont got a game in some hands
