Haven't seen one of Button's hands yet, but he has limped a few - and called a 3x in position, folding on the flop lead.

I've played one hand. Flopped a small set early, painstakingly extracting chips from a blind...showing on his river fold.

With decent position, I'm raising these here occasionally - to keep that position PF. Limping along we were presented with this 'nice' flop. I didn't want it to get checked around, so I put out a decent sized bet to define some hands. Then comes button's min...

What to do...

EDIT: For the record, I really wasn't too attached to the damn thing. Had a blind done the same, I could just as easily ditch it. From a non-PF'raising Button though...what the heck does he have?

[Nick M]

couple of things...i don't think you bet enough.

you still have outs if you're beat...hell you could have more outs than you think if you are up against 2 pair like 78. Any 5, 6, 9 or whatever the turn is. I don't think I can fold here with an over pair and Vil only doubles it. He could have a 6 and looking for a free card.

[Snarf]

I put his range as follows:

1 pair + OESD
Ax for top or 2nd pair
A6 for OESD + possible BD flush draw
2 pair with his connectors
Set

Just about in that order. I'd call and re-evaluate a friendly turn. You're deep enough here to do that I think.

I would flat call the min raise. I would definitely check the turn card that you later showed, and see what he does.
