I don't want to hear about your sets! Grrr! I've hit 1 set in my last 66 pocket pairs! I'm going nuts here! lol
This hand isn't standard, but I do think I played it well. It's just not quite the default 2+2 line. I know I should have reloaded, yah, yah.
I like raising this PF most of the time, but I opted to just call behind as I really don't mind a multi-way pot with this hand. I'm calling the button's raise preflop because this particular villain tends to overvalue his top pairs and there is now a bit of dead money in the pot.
I bet this flop under most circumstances, but I want to see if villain likes his hand here. If villain bets any kind of reasonable amount I'm putting him on a big A and my plan is to check raise all-in on the turn if I can hit my hand.
My thought against this particular villain was that a c/r all-in on the turn would look more like a bluff than someone that had hit their flush and was raising for value.
