bottom set w/ action
Online .50/$1...@ Bugsys Club
I've been at the table about 4 orbits. Nothing major happening. Button had been the most rowdy so far. I had folded QJs on a Jxx board when he had raised my potsized bet another $30 earlier. The rest I had no reads on. Relevant stacks... Hero (EP) $50, MP $50, MP+1 $50, LP $200, Button $125 Hero limps in EP w/ 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], MP, MP+1, LP all limp. Button raises to $3.50 all call. Flop 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] pot ~$20 So I hit my set and its a coordiated board so I figure I need to hit it hard. With this many people in the pot (esp the Button) and I'm first to act, I check looking to raise hard when it gets around. I pretty much decided to go to the felt here. MP bets $4, MP+1 calls, LP calls, Button calls. So the pot is ~$36, $4 to me and I have ~$45 left. I raise making it $40 to go( yeah I shoulda just put it all in). Called by MP and MP+1, LP and button fold. Turn - A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The last $3 or $4 goes in between me and MP+1. River is a brick. My questions are.... should I have led out on the flop $15 or so? I felt pretty confident I would get action and then I could check/raise. Should I have raised less? maybe $20? Thats about 1/2 my stack so any real raise pot commits me. Am I only going to get called by hands that are beating me here or is this just prudent to price out the draws? Once the action gets back to me and the pot is that large, but being played fairly passivly, should my choice be to go to the felt or to take another card off and choose then? My gut instinct is that I will be ahead here the majority of the time and that I need to play it aggressivly to push out potential straight and flush draws, or at least give them the wrong price to draw. regards, Tim
