Default Re: Flopped set - what\'s your preference?

Position is important here. If the preflop raiser is directly after me, I'll let him lead into the field and then I can check/raise and trap a lot of money in there. If I'm directly after him, I'm less likely to raise as I don't mind others coming along, too (this all assumes a safe board).

Basically, unless stacks are very deep, my goal from the moment I see that I've flopped a set is to figure out the best possible way of getting all my money in. If I'm thinking about a checkraise, I have to be fairly sure somebody will bet because, if the flop gets checked around, it can be very difficult to get my stack in with just two betting rounds (the turn and river).

The bottom line is that "what am I going to do on the flop?" is not the right question-- the right question is "what line of flop/turn/river actions will be the best way to get all my money in?"
