I agree that these plays can be quite lucrative on certain occasions, but I do have a problem with them and have stopped playing them.

Your chances of hitting the nuts is actually quite small. There will be times when the flop hits you hard like in your situation with JT and landing 7 8 9 on the flop. But what if theres a flush draw, or they are all suited? What do you do now? The intial raiser will push a bet usualy and you may counter with a raise. If he's holding AA-JJ he may call you. Now what if the turn is an A and fills the flush, or a T and the guy who went in with JQ has the nut straight.

The problem is, the flop may hit you great, but it can cost you a bundle on the turn and river if the high cards match up. Especially if you went in with something like 87s and 8 6 x rainbow comes out. You bet the board and A K comes on the turn and river.

Although the potential is there for something great, more often then not the board isn't going to be completely fair, even if the flop is. I've been victim of getting cockky with a hand like this and getting drawn out.

Its not a bad idea, but can be considered a leak in the long term game. I play mostly tournaments and I choose to hold on to my chips for something better.
