We flop nuts and hate life by turn.

No reads on villains as I'm infinitytabling. This is early in the 4pm left coast time Stars $109 100k. No statistically significant numbers. I didn't fold so there will be river discussion for later.

Not much to discuss here. You can bet anywhere from 500 to 800 and you will often lose an all-in pot if you get action from one player and you are beat. If one of your opponents has you beat, he will often slowplay instead of raising on the turn, so you hope that whoever raises you has Jack-Nine or Queen-Jack or Ace-Queen. One other indicator that we probably still have the best hand is that hands that now have us beat may have raised on the flop with such a draw-heavy board.

The main indicator that we are beat is that Bryan chose to post this hand and he claims he hates life. But a much more important issue is that if you hate life every time the board pairs against your made hands in a $109 tournament, you should seek professional help, because you have a lot of sad days coming in the future!
