The x/y refers to VP$IP and PFR% for those of you who talk pokertracker.

interesting. I check, because the pot's huge. If you get a chance to 3bet, then I do but otherwise I wait for the turn.

What are you protecting it from, exactly?

something like QQ or JJ that has odds to call 1 bet to go for the set, but doesnt have odds to call 2? Something like a KK or KQ with the K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]?

You really aren't in position to do anything but bet. You should bet and hope you get the opportunity to threebet.

Seriously, you're almost certainly ahead and there are no hands that more than three outs against you.
