Default Re: what would you do?...serious question about the way I played a han

Given your strong believe there would be no preflop raising, your call preflop is fine.

Your flop call is bad. If you said "The flop play is usually passive, but people go crazy on the turn" or "Usually five or six people call to showdown" then it would have been acceptable . . . maybe. It's a scary flop, but you'd come closer to having implied odds -- remember you need 22SB, or 11BB, in the pot by showdown when you hit your 2 to make this worth calling, and given this flop, your set might not be good after all.

Note that the final pot wasn't even close to 11BB.

So . . . preflop call fine. Flop call horrible. Flop call bad/questionable, but not horrible, in a different situation.

It doesn't matter how loose they are; six players see a coordinated flop, there's no way everybody missed hitting a pair or better and you're drawing to two outs.

not call the flop, is what i'd do. you have 2 outs, but 1 of them will probably give someone the flush. so you just used up your luck for the week MISTER.
