UTG+1 checks, Hero ...

Final Pot: $1.42


Villain is 64/0/.67 after only 15 hands, so no real read.

Do I value bet the river or am I afraid of a higher set?

Am I making the correct bet sizes here or do I need to slow down a bit more after he calls the flop (and turn)?

Thanks for the advice guys....

I'd fold.

Of course you value bet. /images/graemlins/smile.gif In fact you bet as much as you think villian is calling here, all the way up to a push.

Why are you afraid of a higher set? Don't be. It happens so rarely that at this limits, don't worry. Besides, this is a nearly empty perfect board for your set. If you lose to a high set here, then so be it. You want to get as much of your money in this pot as possible.

I'm PMing you.
