Flopped Set - Turn 4 to Straight...What now?

[Ajax410]

Do I play the turn right or should I have been more aggressive?

That's how I'd handle the turn, without a good read telling me otherwise. Nice hand.

a234 isn't nearly as bad as if it were 2345 and there was action on the turn. I think I fold in that case.

That would be a huge mistake since you would have very good odds to draw to a boat.

nice hand.

Outs. Pot size. Big mistake.

I have trouble with this sort of hand too.

Iv'e been sitting at this table for about 40 hands, and BB hasn't done much. Now he suddenly wakes up when the board 4-straights? I'm sure he didn't just make a pair. But Iv'e got a set! How can I lay this down?

Was my play right?

River: (7.50 BB) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>

I generally have trouble deciding between play/dump when I flop a set on a coordinated flop and there's a lot of action in response to my agression. How can I decide?

You played it right. You probably can't get a read accurate enough to lay this down without losing money in the long run.

BTW, you might not want to hijack other ppl's threads next time /images/graemlins/wink.gif

same situation. Better for forum to post similar hands on thread. I wouldn't say "hijack" in this case.

Better for forum to post similar hands on thread.

That's why I didn't start a new thread. Didn't want to clutter the forum with a similar issue.

I will defer to the forum weather I should have posted a new thread or not.
