Default 20/40: bottom set gets stop and goed.

20/40 4 handed on eurobet. I've been absolutely card dead, and the few hands i've been able to play i've folded before showdown. I'd say my opponents probably view me as weak/passive. Button in the hand is a tough customer: loose preflop standards, tricky and aggressive postflop.

I raise 6h6d utg. Button three bets. SB cold calls. I call and it's 3 handed.

Flop 6c 9c Qs.
SB checks, I bet, Button raises, SB folds, I three bet, Button calls.

Turn 7d.
I lead, he reraises, I call.

River Kd
I check/call.

Final pot: 14BB

After he raises the turn, is there any other line I can really take? Any hand he was reraising preflop and then raising that turn is probably beating me and I'm drawing to two outs. Is that too weak to assume? I have to go to showdown though with the pot as it is, don't I? Anyone take a totally different line?

Yes, is it ever. So very weak. Considering folding this is sooooo bad.

I go for a flop c/r, I don't want to face the SB with calling 2 bets. The way you played it, 3-bet the turn.

edit: and there's only 4 sixes in the deck [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I would think his most likely hands are JTc, AQc, KK or AA.

I would off the cuff estimate that it is 3 or 4 times more likely he has one of the above hands than a set. Or five times.

I wouldn't be too afraid of the turn, but the river is pretty scary, I wouldn't put more than 2 bets in.

3bet the turn and it's not close - given your description there is a very wide range of hands that you can beat that would raise the turn.
