I tried to put this hand through the hand history converter but I couldn't get it to work. If someone who knows how could convert the hand history it would be much appreciated.

Anyway, I would appreciate any advice on how to play monster hands. I recently had flopped the stone cold nuts in a mixed PLO/PLH freeroll and am not sure if I played it correctly. I never really know what to do when I know I'm ahead, I think I kinda get too scared of losing my customer and not getting paid.

I would appreciate any pointers as to how I could've perhaps played this hand better

You got all their chips, job done, congrats. Is this a veiled brag or serious, flopping the stone cold nuts and getting paid depends on your opponents, what they've done in the past hands and how they currently perceive you. Can't say much more without that info, but looks like you did fine here, seeing as they paid you off with T9.

No honestly it's not. This was a completely irrelevent freeroll and the play was correspondingly loose. Players were calling with anything and everything so I've nothing to brag about. However, I have never been in this situation before and thus didn't really know what to do (not that it mattered in such an inconsequential freeroll). I therefore want to get advice on how to play such hands in case it arises in more important occasion against better players?

If say, this was the Sunday Million and the other players weren't donking out the tournament for fun, would my play have made it completely obvious that I was so strong or whatnot?

Was only kidding with the veiled brag comment, I would also like to hear other thoughts. As I said before, I believe it's very player dependant, flopping the stone cold nuts and checking it to the river is painful, I like your lead on the flop, how you get paid by T9, well that's freerolls, but leading here is fine in my eyes.

I'm probs checking the flop, easy enough to make reasonable bet sizes and get your stack in on the turn and/or river. Most of the time when you bet the flop people will just fold

lol at the call down

edit - also when you 4 bet and then bet that small on the flop it looks really suspicious to any decent player
