Push. You can be looking at all types of top pair hands, 56, and flush draws here. As an alternative, you can call and crai on a non heart/queen turn if you like. But I just push here most of the time.

Profish do you ever sleep? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Second this line, would play it the same.

I just push here, altough I have been getting burned lately with this...

Push! A normal villan is not going to make that bet with a set - and that is all your really scared of.

If I was villain I would certainly reraise here with a set. Might be bad but I don't know why. Eplain please.

I think he means it's too big a raise to be a set, not the actual raise itself. A raise is the right move from a set, but we usually see a smaller raise from a set because it actually wants a call or shove.

I sleep...sometimes. Hahah, I wake up and play/post, I go to sleep and repeat. I think I have a problem.

[oh well...]

Can't do much but shove here.

[ronitonline]

Shove here or turn, shoving turn might get more value out of weak Qs or pocketpairs.

sizing a raise based on the strength of the hand would be bad, wouldn't it? This looks like a pot sized raise. I guess I would use a similar raise with a set.

btw push obv /images/graemlins/smile.gif
