Bottom set. What to do on the turn?
 

MP1 had only played a few hands so no read. The button was stinky fishy.

Action's on you.

Push. Someone might have QK, but it's equally possible they have some combination of Q9, TJ, 78, QJ etc.

Tough hand though, but given that you aren't too deep here I don't feel too bad about losing my stack with a set.

Push.

Push, I'd expect to see JT if he calls. Possibly TT but most f the time to button would raise with that.

Ugly Ugly Ugly...(i dont mean your play just the action)

Too late now push and pray for a 6... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I pushed...and prayed.

The board paired 10s and my boat took it down against the straight from MP1 (KQ) and two pair from Fishy (AJ). The pot was well over $500.

The call by those two guys on the flop just baffles me. Getting used to Party Poker is taking some time but I'm beginning to think it's more than worth it.



Thanks for the replies.

KQ isn't so baffling if he knows button is a fish. He has open ended straight draw (roughly 3:1). He assumes the fish will call and IF he hits he'll win all following bets.

The JT had TOP PAIR WITH TOP KICKER! Surely you don't expect him to fold to you? You could be bluffing.

Somedays I just can't handle Party Poker.
