Flopped trip 5's, could I get away from it?

You'll never get away from a hand like this if you slowplay it. Betting = information.

I make more big laydowns in my home game than anyone else I play with - and if you bet out and then re-raise the BB's raise....you begin to have enough information to assess BB's hand. Once he raises you twice I'd CONSIDER dumping BOTTOM set --- or atleast trying to get the cheapest showdown possible. Very read dependent though. I was going to fold my set to a suspected higher set exactly once, but I quadded the turn. So I stacked the poor guy who flopped top set.

You have to view lower sets as possibly (rarely) beat already...giving you one out.

Ok, here's a situation I would consider dumping a set because I was afraid of only an overset: My net worth is the same as it is now, I'm sitting at a cash game with a stack of 5 million dollars (life changing money for me) There's a hundred grand in the pot and my opponent has raised me all in and has me covered.

In real life, two raises without a possible flush or straight on the board isn't getting me away from my set ever. If I stack off, I stack off, that's why I play with an adequate bankroll.

Umm, care to revisit your chest-banging post?

"Flop comes 9, 5, 7 with 2 hearts."


Or do you always stack off in these situations as well?

If I can get all my money in on this flop I'm going to, if you have 6-8 or two nines or two sevens, well good on ya. Further developments later in the hand could lead me into a fold, but not here unless I had an iron clad read on a nut peddler.

Lol. I agree Zetack. I was just saying that a player should at least consider the higher set and consider dumping a low set to someone showing a lot of strength in the hand. I'm not saying you don't get stacked with set vs. overset. You probably consider it, and then get stacked. ..but at least you considered it. Thats all I'm saying.

The way he played it - he left himself no room to consider it. He was pot-committed before he really had gathered enough information to consider anything else than the following, "I have a set I have a set I have a set"

Chest banging posts? Interesting....I'm gonna have to search that one up.
