Bet 200. If you think it will look suspicious, bet 300. Hopefully button wasn't slow playing a set. If you don't think he'll bet the pot or close to it, check call that amount...

Re: 5-10 PL River Play
I would lead the flop. You want to get raised here. The c/r suggests that you have a strong hand, at least two pair out of the sb on a flop of rags and probably better. Leading out makes it harder to put you on a hand. You might even get raised by a flush draw.
The Villian's flat call on the turn is a bit scary, but if you get too scared when people call you can't play. He either has two pair (sixes and fours), made a boat or has some kind of a draw, most likely a combo draw, maybe 57 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] but I bet A2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] The 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is either irrelvant or helped you by counterfeiting him. Your perfect world would be if he had A5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I think you have to bet out. $300 seems about right. |

Or do you think he would pay off a $200 or $300 bet on a "combo" draw hand with some part of the board, hoping I missed my flush draw? Funny how you think my flop CR here screams big hand, while in the other hand, someone else thought my flop CR screamed draw. |

Results and Thoughts
I was really torn between betting out on the river or check calling and I am still not sure which is best. I decided to check call his $400 bet. He had 63s for the flopped 2-pair and turned full-house.
