Re: Flopped Set in SB
I'd bet the flop. Given that you didn't, the rest looks fine.

Re: Flopped Set in SB
It's a marginal call preflop - but some people have different standards for calling out of the SB - personally, I don't with small unsuited one gappers - not sure how many posters here do.
You should bet the flop - other than that, this hand is pretty good. The river card sucks - but that's poker. |

Re: Flopped Set in SB
i'd bet the flop myself, otherwise the rest looks fine.
btw, the correct term for the hand you have here is trips, not a set. |

Re: Flopped Set in SB
I see. So trips is when you match a pair on the board and a set is when the board matches your PP? I did not know that. That's some weird, wild stuff.
What is the reason for betting the flop as opposed to CR? Just curious. Thanks for the comments. |

Re: Flopped Set in SB
betting does a couple of things:
1) (my favorite) it tells your opponents "I do not have a 7" 2) it makes sure gutshot straight draws and backdoor flush draws don't get a free card 3) it gets money into the pot with the best hand a checkraise accomplishes 3 just fine, but you don't want to take the (small) risk that it gets checked around - people are more likely to check through a scary flop like this, but they'll call with as little as one overcard. welcome to the boards [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] |
