I'm trying NL cash after two years of SnGs, so I may have a tendency to use an axe where a knife would be better. I'm 22.33/12.84 and 2.31BB/100 over 20K hands. I'm fairly comfortable on a tight table where people will actually fold and there's some chance to read hands, but often feel completely lost on tables full of donks who raise and call everything and see who can hit the river the hardest.

So here are two 55 hands where I flopped a set on a coordinated board. Advice is welcome on all streets.

CO is 53.06/10.2 over a small number of hands.

Hero ?


Button is solid, 23.20/17.39. MP is 37.14/9.52, and has called my TPTK down twice until he hit rr 2 pair.

I figure MP will call just about anything, but Button might raise with a pair or two overs, so I go for a check/raise.

As played, reraise or push?

1st hand just put him all in, hes short and u have no reason to think ur behind

and never open limp. ever. ever. raise it up

2nd hand, if youre going to bet the flop BET MORE! at least 3, and i usually make it 3.5.

as played i make it 10 and call a shove. drawy board, and MP will often have an overpair like 88 or a low set

Hand 1
Raise it PF
Raise it on the flop. you have a killer hand with what looks like action from two villains, raise and hope to get it all in on the flop.

Hand 2
I would lead for pot size bet on such a board. I kind of makes it really difficult to make a choice the way you played it. MP could be slowplaying a straight. Plus if they're both drawing they could have a hell of a lot of combined outs. You need to bet bigger to get some information.
