Default Re: PP 10/20 Flopped Set, Too much action?

Well, look at it from their perspective.

Most people probably call a 3bet/raise and attempt to trap the third player in between with a checkraise on the turn with top set.

Most people _do_ play an overpair,or TPTK fast on the flop and slow down on the turn.

The only action you should fear with a set (when no flush or straights are out yet), is heavy action you'll get on the turn, but even then, you're as likely to be getting 3bet by top two as you are with an overset (and occasionally an overpair), making a cap more than reasonable even with bottom set. The thing about capping (unlikely 3betting) is that you're not vulnerable to a 5-bet, so you dont have to use the same mentality as 3betting a river, say. In cases where you can be reraised by stronger hands, it's a win 1, lose 2 situation. Capping a turn is win 1, lose 1 situation.

Retard is my term of endearment. Well, maybe not. But i call everyone a retard when they do something i disagree with, so you shouldnt be offended.
