Borgata 10/25 NL Top Set
I'm in EP with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and about $11k on the table. I limp in (there are a number of donkeys in the game, which makes me want to take as many chances as possible to see flops), MP1 (new to table, shown a couple of bluffs, but basically no good read on him yet) raises to $125 (with about $2500 behind), MP2 (solid TAG, somewhat creative) player calls (with about $10k behind), I call, all else fold. The flop is 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. It gets checked around. Turn is 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I check, MP1 bets $500 (into the ~$410 pot), MP2 calls.... whats my play? (My read on possible holdings in white, but I'd like to hear what other people think before they look too).
<font color="white"> At the time my guess was that MP1 has two overs or a small pocket pair and saw a chance to take down the pot with a semi-bluff and took a shot (hence the overbet) and my initial instinct was that MP2 has the ace of hearts and another high heart for two overs and the nut flush draw. </font> |

Raise, and I probably don't put any more money in the pot unless I improve against MP2. Against MP1 I have no problem with it going in...

Bet the flop.
The over-bet does look like a semi-bluff but when a solid player calls behind with the board paired I would be worried about 55 or 77, although he may not want to be playing an under-full so slow. Anyways, you have to raise now so I say pot it ($2500 total) and hope for the best. Bet the flop. |

This isn't top set and I think you actually need to bet at some point.

Re: Borgata 10/25 NL Top Set
it's trips not a set. sets are hidden.
your hand is incredibly obvious. you need a better line than check-call to get people who are really far behind your hand to put money in the pot. |

Re: Borgata 10/25 NL Top Set
Yeah -- I said set when I meant trips. Anyway, thanks for all the advice -- the result was I raised $1500 to $2000 and got called in both spots... the river blanked and was checked around, I announced I only had a 9 and MP1 showed 77 and MP2 disgustedly showed 55.
