Re: 3/6 top set, am I still raising?

Doesn't it make more sense to call and keep the other players on a draw in?

Hi Vee - No. You want them to fold, in case the board doesn't pair. Your top set may win here even though a straight is already possible. You don't want anyone drawing to and making a straight that isn't there yet.
At this point someone needs a 36XY or 68XY to have the straight. 36 and 68 are not favored two-card combos.
A2, A3, AA, KK, etc. are favored two-card combos. Nobody who knows what they're doing is playing a hand with 36 unless they have something like A2, A4, A5, AA, or maybe 24 or 25, to go along with it. It's even tighter for 68. (maybe A2, suited A3, or suited AA).
