44, do I go for overcalls

[benkath1]

I flopped a set and was bet into with 3 behind me. I'm thinking, hmmmm, do I want to raise here and possibly push others out of the pot, there's no real draws, so I doubt they will call for 2.

CO is LAP and SB is LP. No solid reads on either of the 3.

Yay or nay?

NH. I like.

Going for overcalls on the flop seems ok. Nice hand.

6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif is nice because it doesn't give many draws (a low straight draw that will come in 35% of the time) but besides that you'd lose all the rest of your people. This is a good play with a great hand.

It's fine.

1) There was no preflop raise, so the pot is small
2) You have poor relative position (a raise shuts out others instead of trapping them in).
3) The board is very drawless (53 and 75 have the OESD, but other than that it's nothing)
