Flopped set on monotone board...big action

[pootle]

Hi,

This is my 1st strategy post so please go easy on me /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Not been at the table long, but Villains seem to be pretty solid. Nobody has done anything out of line so far.

So what's Hero's move here?



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero ($72.70)
Button ($24.70)
SB ($59.20)
BB ($76.70)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.5</font>, Button calls $1.50, SB calls $1.25, BB calls $1.

Flop: ($6) J/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $23.2</font>, SB folds, BB calls $23.20, Hero......

call and if board doesn't pair, toss TT if he pushes. he could be slowrolling a made flush in the hopes you call to get more money in the pot. but being 4 handed, you could easily push here and hope for the best as he could just be holding the A/images/graemlins/club.gif

4-handed, I push.

Course, the same thing happened to me in a live game recently, and BOTH my opponents had a flush, and the board didnt pair. So what the hell do I know /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

This is an easy push given all the money in the pot compared to the stack sizes. You're only in really bad shape if someone has JJ. Otherwise, if one of them has a flush your equity is still at least 25% and so you are not very far behind. There is the possibility that 2 opponents will call in which case the EV on the rest of your stack is nearly neutral if one has a flush (again assuming that JJ is not out). If 3 opponents call and JJ is not out then you are getting +EV on the rest of your stack.

So you guys are saying that he should push and suckout?
Best case scenario would be that Button has AcJx and BB has 44.
I think folding is okay unless both of them are idiots.

sucking out when you have the odds to do so is better than folding.

I didn't notice when I first wrote my post that the button was a short stack and had raised all-in. Therefore, disregard the part where I talk about possibly being called by 3 opponents as a possibility.
