bottom set raise or coldcall?

[neverforgetlol]

Quick question. MP seems tight so he probably has AK, AQ, or a pph here. I don't think he has two diamonds. Is my line best here or should I just call to make it look like i'm drawing?

I like the way you played it. There was a good chance someone would pay you off with a draw on that board and you want to make them pay as much as you can.

I would hide the results.

I sometimes call here, but usually I play it the way you do.

[lacrymosa]

I play it the same with 2 people to call

hrmm, i call here actually. if MP is drawing, he already destroyed his hand, and according to what you say you have nothign to fear. what kind of player is SB? will he overcall?

I call, and hopefully am able to get it AI on the turn with a reraise. Pot will be 30+ depending on SB move. I push the turn regardless of the action.

[JCCARL]

ilay it the same way here as well multi way.

you could raise to 23, as that would still leave both of you pot committed on the turn.

I figured raise (and I'm not sure about raise sizes when there's a bet and raise in front of me). Are there any spots where I would cold call? i.e. dry boards, different reads, etc.

My thing about calling is, if i think SB is bad enough to overcall, then there will be enough in the pot on the turn to get them feeling committed.

With a raise and reraise ahead of you, you are basically saying, look guys I have a monster.

SB might be probing, mp has got to have something .... and since you do not put him on a draw, then for once it might be safe to just call and see what happens.

That being said, if you wish to fake a draw, then push ... that looks like a draw of sorts ?


Still nothing wrong in raising when ahead, and may donks will pay you off with an overpair or tptk, so I would play the same way.
