Re: Extracting value with top set
very hard to do with top set against a player with middle pair or just over cards. perfect scenerio for you would have been what got me 2 days ago. 1st hand in tourney AA to my delight so i make it 4x the big blind and it folds to one caller. flop comes q73 needless to say he had pocket queens and took almost my whole stack by checking since he had first position. an over pair will bet this flop everytime and a smooth call by the set tells the weaker hand that you have something but not the best had at the time. if you had had first position then you check and call his bets the whole way unless you ave serious reason to believe 4th or 5th made him a set higher then yours. check it until the river to let him catch up if you have to
(needless to say if there are flush or straight possibilities then your betting will be different but if you put him on middle pair or 2 overs with a rainbow, spaced apart flop then this is how you should do it). an amazing trap
