Default Re: Newbie with a flopped set

Is that really the best way to get their stacks?
"Win the money now."? I'd prefer to get at least one my opponents stack.

You are not trying to get their STACK you are trying to get their MONEY. You need to weigh the risk of getting nothing against the benefit of possible profit.

Rememeber - this is not tournament play where taking someone's stack brings you nearer to the big money.

I don't have much to be afraid of on a flop like that

No?
What will you do if a 6 or a 3 comes on the turn?

The principle is to make them pay to draw. In the end you will get called enough times to more than balance the times where they folded.
