Middle man in my set CR

ahnuld · #1 08-02-2005, 01:38 PM

Playing 400 nl on Prima for a few hours. Stack size is about 550. I limp with presto (55). CO who is very shortstacked at 130 total, makes it 20. Im gonna fold, but tight sb who has 450 comes along. I decide wtf lets go.

64 in pot. Flop comes 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Checked around to raiser who bets 60. Sb calls, action is on me. Sb hand range is now a flush draw, 77, maybe TT JJ or AQ. He has 370 left. Raiser has 40. What's the best line?

Im gonna assume you have 55 and you should raise.

Sorry, I just fixed the OP. Yes i have 55, and I agree raising is correct, but how much would you raise?

210 total.

Thats a pretty nice pot right there. Assuming CO will call any raise you're looking at $220. I'd raise to $225 which I think would get half the small blind's stack in there on a draw. Push on a blank turn. If the flush makes on the turn I'd fold to a push and call any reasonable bet. Hopefullly he will make his flush with a card that pairs the board. If he's got you set over set I don't think you can get away.

If you are gonna do this you should just push the flop.

I think you're correct. I think a better line would have been to lead the flop with a pot sized bet, or maybe a slight overbet to $70. If CO calls he should raise all-in to SB.

As it is I think I like your raise of $150 to make it $210. I want SB in the pot with his AQ or flush draw. I don't think he calls the raise with JJ or TT and a set should have shown itself by now.

I raised it, making it 250 to go. PFR called, and sb insta folded, later saying he had AQ and wouldnt have put a dime more in. I think leading into PRF makes sense but sb is tightish, so he might have smelled a trap. OH prf has KK and MHIG

Call the forty then raise the around the pot. $220-250.
