I hope Vegs is like this

Ignoring the results of the hand, should you have bet the flop? I’m not sure that’s getting the maximum value out of flopping the nut straight -- especially with an Ace on the board. If johnny wasn’t such a tool, and, say, was holding a pair nines or any other reasonable hand, and you bet into that board, especially after raising pre-flop, he’s going to fold.

I’d instead check/call the flop, then bet the turn (hoping for a raise so I can three-bet).
