Re: Slow play set on a dangerous flop?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Generally you want to have a couple people limp in before you call with a small pair. Small pairs do better when you flop a set with many people in the pot, or when you are heads-up. [/ QUOTE ] Of course I'd prefer a couple of limpers, but if the people behind me haven't been raising a lot, I'll call. If it gets raised to 60 I'll stay, any more would be very opponent dependent. If I make my set I'm probably going to take a lot of chips from somebody, and I may be able to take down the pot without a set. [/ QUOTE ] The problem is that in level 2, you only have implied odds for a set against the other huge stacks. To play 55 for set value against 25bb (T750) stacks, you have to stack someone about 1/3 of the time you flop your set -- and even at the lower stakes they're just not that bad.

[/ QUOTE ] You don't know any such thing for a fact, but sometimes it is more likely than others. One size does not fit all. There are times you should limp with any two, but this is not one of them.
