Re: Not a very good play

Also, given what I have said above, the cards Stew had to worry about on the flop were danger cards, not his opponent's actual outs. So he has 5 cards to worry about (all available A/K's), not just the two that will in fact make a set for his opponent.

He doesn't have to worry about these five cards, since he's ahead 60% of the time they flop. Even if he checks and calls he's going to get more money from an opponent betting his bare pair, than he loses to one who flops a higher set.
And since it's a loose game, he's going to get more money from all the other callers as well, all combined are likely to be less than 20% to win the pot, but will end up putting in the majority of the chips.
