Default Re: Making the most with a set out of position.

Interesting, I just had a hand exactly like this. Normally I lead out with my sets, but the board wasn't that scary and I was confident that no one could improve too much on the turn to beat me. (Looking back, well, besides a gutshot straight draw)

PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (10 handed) converter

BB ($25)
UTG ($13.55)
UTG+1 ($37.25)
UTG+2 ($29.35)
MP1 ($23.65)
MP2 ($64.15)
MP3 ($14.95)
CO ($23.55)
Button ($24)
SB ($23.10)

Preflop: is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP3 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, checks.

Flop: ($1) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks.

Turn: ($1) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets $0.5</font>, MP3 calls $0.50, folds.

River: ($2) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets $1</font>, MP3 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Ruso329 raises to $5</font>, UTG+1 calls $4.

Final Pot: $12

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has 8c 8h (full house, eights full of queens).
UTG+1 has Ah 4s (two pair, queens and fours).
Outcome: Hero wins $12. </font>

Fortunately, I was just up against an idiot.
