A set of 9s - do I keep two players in the pot?
Typing from HH
UTG 990 UTG+1 1610 MP1 835 MP2 635 MP3 1025 LP 975 CO 970 Button (hero) 980 SB 990 BB 990 Blinds: (5/10) Preflop: Hero is dealt 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG calls 10, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, SB raises to 45, BB folds, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls Flop (t210) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB bets 100, UTG calls 100, Hero calls 100 Turn (t510) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] SB bets 250, UTG calls 250, Hero... <font color="blue"> What's your line of action here? Option 1: I raise, and I'm most likely going to isolate SB, and lose UTG. Option 2: I call, and let SB bet into the river, and see if I can extract more chips out of UTG. Thus moving allin on the river rather than the turn. Reads: UTG is a huge donkey FWIW, I raised on the turn to 500, SB moved allin, and UTG folded. </font> |

Id move in on the turn. The pot is pretty big

Here I don't mind calling one more time.
EDIT, I like your min raise here also, both are good plays in my book. |

I'd play it exactly the way you did.

I'd play it exactly the way you did. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. The flop is about as safe as you get to slow-play a set. But the pot is big and flush draws scare me (even back-door flush draws). Some donkey calls a raise out of position with A2 of clubs and sticks around with bottom pair, an overcard and a backdoor nut flush draw. Make him pay for that river. |

Id push- stop people hitting things like higher set/flush etc - although i doubt your up against more than a pair of kings here.

Perfect. If it was the 3 of spades I'd probably just call but I like the minraise here - if UTG picked up a flush draw he will call all of this anyway and you'll get both their chips in now.

I like your play. If you just call, SB will most likely push the river. Which will make UTG fold unless he hit something huge like a flush. I'd min-raise like you did, hope both SB and UTG call. Then you're looking at a 3 way all in on the river.
