Default Re: 3/6 NL-bottom set, multi-way pot

Man.. not leading this turn really backfired here...

If you push.... I just don't see anybody calling with a worse hand very often... I think even AJ gets away clean from this one.

On the other hand... if you cold call the $290... you're still announcing the strength of your hand, only now, you're giving free cards, too. Maybe you can convince them to call a small value bet on the river... but it's gonna be pretty small.

Also, the turn brough a few draws, which somebody might be semibluffing with. (8d7d, Td9d, 9d8d or maybe Adxd from CO (looks like he might have wanted a cheap river).

All this, of course, is if we have the best hand.

How likely it is that we don't comes down to read.... but it does look like there's a good chance that button isn't as strong as he looks, here, since he raised CO's weak bet. He could easily have only two pair or something like AK/AQ here.

Next time lead the turn.
