Texas Hold'em No Limit (£0.50/£1)

I have the button, with about £50. The whole table has me covered.

I am dealt a pair of 6s.

6 limpers in front of me, I limp too, as do the blinds.

Flop is 9h 6h 7h. Hooray! I got my set!

But I could be losing to a straight or a flush. If I'm winning, there could easily be both straight and flush draws out there. OTOH, if I am losing, or get outdrawn, I have a redraw to a full house.

Flop action: A token £1 bet and 3 calls to me. Pot is about £13. I have the short stack of roughly £50. I should ...?

What I did (and results) in white:

I pushed. I got one caller. He had flopped the straight flush.

This is something that make people distrust online poker, it's incredible how often such things happen online. /images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I would prefer to bet big to make it hard for drawing hands to call (and if they call make big bucks most of the time) or check/fold (or call smaller bets to try catch the full house). I would probably have done something like you did - not believing anyone had flopped flush or straight.

Just my thoughts...

I had a similar situation yesterday with almost the same results only with A's! I had to throw them away.
