Default Re: A passive set Party 1/2 6-max deepish

nh imo.

Either check or push is fine but I like a check if I'm playing tight. With a check, you get to showdown a set letting someone bet it into you.

You're CB's get respect b/c you initially bet the set
You'll be looking at lots of cheap showdowns/check behinds for the rest of the session after they make their "checked set of 5's turn and river after flop reraise"
They'll think twice about coming over the top of your CB.
Less likely you see a bluff on a river when you check.
Weaker hands (KJo and the like) are now a lot easier to play up front with this image. You don't have to worry about getting blown off a weak made hand nearly as much.
