Against tight opponents, I think that modifying the 5/10 rule to make it more of a 4/8 rule can be helpful.

hmm, that sounds good

Yes, that does sound reasonable. I think I will do that against opponents that seem to be tight and good players. Against weak-tight players I think you should be able to steal the pot after the flop enough to make up for the lost implied odds. Thx for the advice.

When you represent the set are you CR his flop bet and then leading the turn or trying to CR him on the turn?

I would most often lead the flop with a set, so when I'm trying to represent a set against a thinking player I guess I would lead the flop.

You lead the flop with a set so he will raise with his overpair and then you can push in (or get it in on the turn when hes committed).

It works for that exact fact that people will raise with their overpair. Most people dont lead with a set. if they did, people wouldnt raise their overpair.

So if you lead without a set, forcing him to raise, how are you going to take the pot away from him? hes goinfg to call your all in with his overpair, remember?

If he is, I shouldn't be looking to bluff him. I should wait until I hit my set and then get paid off. We were talking about the specific situation where you are playing someone tight and cautious that will NOT pay off your trips when you hit. If he will not pay you off when you hit, you must be able to use the same line to bluff him, right?
