$55: Turned a set but facing a 3/4pot bet and 3 opponents

I would probably make it 450, then push the river. If a scare card falls and he pushes the river I'm calling. I know 450 makes it obvious we have a hand, but they call anyway.

i min raised to 300. i wanted to string the co along for some more chips. but now that i think of it, if he was on a draw (straight/flush), i'm not pricing him out. (Mental note: always protect my hand.)

mp3 calls it, and co calls. ok, mp3 worries me.

river = red 8, so if someone had the 6 or J, they just made their gut shot.

mp3 bets out 100chips. co folds. oh boy... i'm thinking flopped straight and he's value betting since i'll be too scared to bet with 4 cards to a straight on the table.

but for 100 chips into this huge pot i call, and he turns over 7J clubs. ARRGGG... this idiot check/cold called a raise to a 3/4pot bet with bottom pair and a gut shot?! sigh.. made a note on him, and moved on...

if youre going to raise, dont make it 300. i like making it 400-500 and getting the rest in on the river. mini-raising is terrible yo

minraising is almost as bad as chasing a gut-shot. gotta protect your hand here.
