Flopped Set of Kings - Line Check

[locutus2002]

The pyschology is that hero got scared.

That was the best possible card to show up on the turn. There isn't a better card in the deck for hero except maybe an ace. Villain's need to improve to play. Hero is way ahead and can afford for them to improve.

you cant bet 250 into a 1kpot multi way pot with some draws

[locutus2002]

You can as long as villain's are getting the incorrect odds to call it is EV+. At T250 villain gets ~6:1 implied odds. On the whole there are alot of hands that can call T250. I would think there are more str8 draws here since the flop was rainbow. Maybe T275, T300, but no more.

why are you gonna bet half your stack? why not push like hero did?

[locutus2002]

Because you want a call. And villain can't call unless he can see that he is getting near fair odds to call. Near fair odds for a gutshot with a pair (like QJ) is 6outs:41 cards or ~1:7. In reality villain only has 4 outs in this case 4:43 or ~1:11.

how do you have almost 700 posts?

[locutus2002]

Most of them are probably garbage.

I don't see that yours are all that inspiring.
