Flopped a set with 77, correct play?

[essence86]

Hi!

Limped here with 77, when villain raised I felt he has a big pocket, or perhaps AK. So I assume my preflop play is correct?

That action looks screwed up. You didn't seriously call a $20 raise pre-flop, did you?

this is correct

[Shaddux]

This is fine.

[sightless]

seems cool to me

[Redd]

I'd raise preflop. As played, I think postflop is fine.

[Waingro]

Raise pf. Raise the flop much more. That board is really drawy and a pot-sized raise is $7.7, so something in that neighbourhood should do it. Rest is fine.

Exactly right.

Is the general consensus among 2p2ers that we should raise in LP with mid to low pp's?

I believe the general consensus is that we should raise any PP from any position, in an unopened 6-max pot.

Such was advocated by Tien in the recent 6-max guidelines thread IIRC.

i like raising PP from any position. Obviously dont take this to an extreme by doing something like raising 66 from ur BB option after 4 people limp.

Just use ur best logic when to and when to not raise with them, based on ur position, number of players in already and the strength of ur hand. But i think raising liberally with them works well.

U raise a guy who limps AK and hit a set and he hits his top pair u will get paid out all day. Almost any 2 high cards who limp will pay you off, because they think their hand strength is disguised.. /images/graemlins/wink.gif donkeys....!

[wingchunflush]

agreed raise pf and bet more on the flop....nh

Raise flop harder, everything else looks goot.

Where is this 6-max guidelines thread? I ran several searches for the subject and Tien, but I didn't get any guideline threads. Can someone help me out?

Hero wasn't first in. There was an openlimper; hero called behind.

In any case I'd raise PF ~95% of the time because it puts you in a good spot postflop.
