    This is just a quick question about pot limit and how to use you tank effectively. Just curious if people think I played this right or if I should of done differently.

    I have about €525
    I'm dealt kc qh qc 8d

    It's made €5 preflop with 7 callers including me.

    Flop comes qd 10c 2c

    I bet €35, one caller and then it's made €175.

    I flat call the €175 and the first caller goes all in for about €100 ish.

    turn is a blank 7h (I think)

    I stick my last €350 in.

    He calls.

    River comes a 10 and I win with my top set.

    He had called with just the open ender. I think I was j98 or something along those lines..

    I just wondering what people think about the way I flat called on the flop. I was thinking of popping it up again and stick the rest of my tank in when he made it 175. But I thought it'd be better to make him have to pay to see the river. I wasn't sure if my clubs were live. Turns out they were. I was playing them more as blockers than anything else. Any thoughts?

    Twas nice rake in a pot that big too. Biggest one I've won in a cash game.

    It depends on the other big stack at the table. Who was it or what kind of player was he?
    If you're pretty sure he's a gambler who might put his stack behind an OESD then flatcalling and then putting pressure on the turn is fine.
    If he's a good Omaha player then I think you need to raise the flop.

    If Villain held a hand like Ac Jc Kh 9h (the full wrap straight +flush draw) then you're marginally behind. This is a worst case scenario but even if he holds just KJ9x with no flush draw he still has 25% equity.

    N1 though, final pot must have been a monster!

    Twas one of the 100 game players. I wasn't too sure how strong he was. I figured maybe a wrap and nut flush draw. Thats why I was thinking keeping back 350 and pushing on the turn into a 450 odd pot was the best play. At least that way I'm making him pay to see both cards instead of giving him two cards. I might shut it down on the turn with my push and take what's in the pot there and then. I think this kinda goes back to my tournament mentality of take down the pot when it's fairly big. That's why I wasn't sure if the flat call on the flop was right. I was very suprised to see afterwards that my flush draw was live.

    Pot was massive alright. Raking in that many chips and taking the length of the next hand to stack them up is a nice feeling...
