Is there any way to defend a set in late position?
UTG+2 is LAG (96 VP$IP, 12 PFR), MP1 is Loose/Passive.
Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks. With so many callers, I figured it was worth a limp, but not a raise. Flop: (6 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, BB calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls. Being in late position, I have no opportunity to C/R, and no one has bet out, so I figured I had to lead. Turn: (6 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB folds, BB calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 folds. Again, no bettors and I am all alone in aggression. River: (10 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> BB checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG+2 calls. Nothing to do but call. Final Pot: 13 BB Is there any other way to play this? Should I have checked the flop and hoped someone would bet at it? Thanks. |

Preflop is fine.
Bet out on the flop and the turn, raise the river and call a reraise. If the person has T9 or diamonds, so be it. There's no reason you're necessarily behind here at the river. (Actually, I'm unsure of the raising part, but that's what I would do). Gosh, you flopped a set and you sound so depressed... |

Raise the river! [/ QUOTE ] I disagree. With two players to act behind I'd go for overcalls, and not risk opening myself up to a 3-bet from that bastard MP1 if he has a straight or flush. |

Good to know that I wasn't totally off my noodle.
BTW, MP1 rolled over T9s for the straight. Thanks for the comments. |
