Default Re: pushing vs a made hand

[ QUOTE ]
Well, a set vs. str8 is 35% to win with 2 cards to come. So I would only go all-in if I knew I were getting 2:1 pot odds, which will probably only happen if 2 people flopped the nut str8. I don't really like check-raise, but check-call, check-fold, leading out / folding to a raise are all possibilities given your read on the action. Don't forget you are sorely dominated by somebody with TT and the str8 is a 65% favorite over you.

This hand (OESD to the nut straight + set) is actually favourite over a made straight without redraw (app. 60/40). It's only TTxx that you are really worried about.

I like the line that hero took in this hand.
