Am I playing right with this set on a one suit board?

[HajiShirazu]

I think this is all right.

[PokerProdigy]

Agreed. Bet the turn to NOT give a free card.

[PokerProdigy]

In theory you're right top, but going by a read I think we can punish him with a check-raise.

I don't agree that a check-raise punishs him here, as he may already have a better hand then the hero and re-raise, and the check-raise may fail because he may take the free card with a big heart and we'd just be missing bets. So I really don't like the check-raise here (and I love check-raising my opponents LOL).

[bosoxfan]

would this be a case for betting the four flush on the river and folding to a raise?

I think the way the buttons behaving, hes going to pop us if we check.

thin reads from 1street of play are ehh

[MrWookie47]

This river is definitely an instance of Clarkmeister's theorem. Bet the river, and fold to a raise.

[Trix]

If you want to bet the river, why didn´t you want to 3bet the turn then ?

I hate betting the turn here, I'd almost go for the check-raise to settle him down. If he keeps going, I'd consider dropping the hand.

You ever end up looking stupid when he checks behind with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ?

[Trix]

I think I would play it the same.

The only question is whether to 3bet the turn or not. It seems somewhat close.

[@bsolute_luck]

looking at this hand again, i would really doubt he has a flush or on a flush draw. if he had the flush, he wouldn't eliminate players like he did on the flop. if he was on the draw, he wouldn't eliminate MP like he did on the turn would he?

so his reraise, i'd 3-bet. checked, bet the river. capped, call down ??? maybe??
