Re: playing a set when it\'s obvious you have a set
in a lot of situations you just aren't destined to make a ton of money with whatever you have, because your opponent doesn't have much. as a general rule I don't worry about the minimum amount I can squeeze out of the hand, but rather the maximum I can make if he does have a big hand. I generally think this strategy is best against all but the loosest 3 barrel bluffers. in this situation if the guy can't stand a flop raise and a turn bet, he really doesn't like his hand. note that you don't need a set to make this play if he will lay down an A.
