2/3 live hand - hit set and want to fold

eastbay · #1 08-04-2005, 05:07 AM

$200 max buy-in $2/$3 blinds, $2 dealer drop. 10 handed. I have about $250.

Early limper, seems very solid, I limp from MP with 88. Nondescript new player raises to $12 from SB and we both call. Both players have me slightly covered.

Flop is AK8 rainbow. Raiser bets $25 and EP calls. What is this? Raiser has a pair of aces, probably down to A9 or so. EP has... what? A weak ace? KQ? I decide I am not afraid of seeing another card and want raiser's whole stack. I just call.

Turn is a T, putting two spades on board. Raiser bets out $35 and EP makes it $100.

Uh-oh. Your move?

why are you not afraid of another card if your range of hands for EP has kq in it, raising the flop to ateast 75 seems like a good bet to keep in the hands you want in and lose the ones you dont.

after raising 75 on the flop i wouldn't mind both opponents calling

I don't mind the PF limp, though i can see a case for raising here too. But i raise that flop every time, probably to about 80 or 90.

There are no hands i want to fold here except those which you will never get to fold (aa/kk). If they have these well hell, it happens and i probably lose the lot (though if someone then comes over the top of that and i have a very strong read on that player i may, just may, be able to let go of it). But chances are strong i'm way ahead I want to get money in the pot now and commit people to it.
