[10NL] ATs, OOP. BvB, shove turn with trips and RFD.

The thing is it's not mathematically incorrect (perhaps the word I'm looking for is unprofitable?) to raise/get-it-in on the flop, but it's not the best option. We don't get anything more out of the air part of his range and it's possible we make him fold the made hands we're crushing (say he's 3betting some low AXs type hands or KQ although I think in today's games a lot of players are checking back flop with those hands).

I should probably think more like this rather than get a boner over a huge combo draw. Obviously getting as much in on the flop as possible is profitable, and it's real easy to just drool and take the easy route of OMG MONIES. To be honest you might well have identified a huuuuuge leak of mine here, I mean I doubt it's just monster draws like this, which are rare. There's gotta be tons of spots where I settle for a line because I figure it's profitable, and don't stop to think if other lines are more profitable. Thanks spenda, you've shown me where I need to focus my study on.
