Paying off a river raise with a set

[Isura]

Really? I don't consider 77 small [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. I'm thinking open-raising 77 in MP1 is standard. I was more inclined to raise with the presence of the poster. THe poster is calling lots of speculative hands, and raising his strong ones. So I find the flop easier to play, especially if it's 2 or 3 handed.

Preflop is fine. I think folding the river would actually be ok. Had MP2 folded, I'm calling. The reasons should be clear.

Limp or fold PF. Not late enough to start openraising with small PPs.
Getting aboyut 1:11, I think you should call. Its fairly close, however.

Preflop is fine, especially with a poster. I'd also raise this without a poster here.

Ya I would pay this off. I think you win this hand about 40% of the time actually. A lot of players try to push players off hands with scare cards.

40% of the time? For me, it's more like 80% of the time, its a crying call. does any advocate check/calling the river?

So far, so good. On paradise, I'm running at 6.94/100 over 1,000 hands at .5/1. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I can see this is gonna take a while...

You know, I get a lot more sup bros on Paradise than I ever got on Party? Interesting.

You aren't winning this close to 40% of the time when MP2 calls, then CO raises. It's somewhere between 5 and 10%, I'd say, and it's really close.
