View Full Version : Playing set against a flush draw on the turn, what's a greater EV?

The question at hand is whether or not i should push all in on the turn, or bet so that even if he hits, the remainder of my stack doesnt make it +ev for him to call. If I push all in, i feel like this player will not call. If I dont push all in, he will not call on the river, so ... what's the better choice?

you should bet whatever you think he'll call.....I think the amount you bet is great..it was better than pot sized, he made a horrible call there.....if you think he'd fold to the push then I don't see anything wrong with the bet size you made.
