Default Low set on 1 suited flop

MP1 raises often to that amount with about any hand, he's not really the one I worry about.

MP2 may call big raises with suited connectors, and $14 aint a big raise.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) converter

MP1 ($580.7)
MP2 ($393.3)
MP3 ($381)
CO ($582.82)
Button ($357.5)
SB ($411)
BB ($392)
UTG ($380.9)
UTG+1 ($509.4)
Hero ($589.57)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to $14</font>, MP2 calls $14, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls $14, SB (poster) calls $12, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $10.

Flop: ($74) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $15</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to $65</font>, Button folds, SB folds

Hero ?

Following that type of action, I fold. It is too likely that one of the two has a flopped flush or higher set.

Fold without even pondering it.

I see 1 turn card that I like. 1.

There are a number of hands than he could raise that weak bet with. depending on the flow and my image, i would see a non diamond turn and bet a little more than 2/3 or triple his bet on the flop and see what happens, probably the latter. You donīt have enough information to lay down a set yet.. my two / Durer

the advice in this thread about easy fold is terrible... this a very image dependent situation... reraising and calling are both ok.

Wow. I'm embarrassed. I'm a PLO poster, and didn't even realize I wasn't in the PLO forum.

My previous advice (fold) is entirely standard in PLO... and of course may be ATROCIOUS in Hold 'Em. My apologies. As to what to do - I have no idea... I suck at that 2-card game.

Sorry [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Default Re: Low set on 1 suited flop

I lead a pottish bet here. As it is you really dont have much information....MP1 minbet and was raised, this could mean a lot of things although I think the A diamonds is a good candidate. BUT, the real problem you are in now is you arent closing the action. This could get bad if MP1 was making a weak lead or something.

I like to lead into this pot and see what happens. If you are raised it will be situational, and if someone has flopped a flush you can likely draw to your outs at a good price (as a lot of players at this level will be "trapping" with a flopped flush providing it is high flush) with great implied odds to fill up.

I agree with the advice to lead on this flop. You got to find out where you are at in this hand. Best case scenario is that your against a Ad and a top 2 pair.. I doubt it though with the texture of the flop. I'd definitely want to lead and then probably call a small raise to try and pair up on the turn. I don't think folding here is a big mistake either.
