Default Re: top set on flush board

[ QUOTE ]
this is a very easy push, the reason you push is that a PSB is giving UTG+2 great odds to draw if he's got a flush draw because the shorties can only call all in. He knows that at least one of the other two players are very likely to call all in and both might....since that is the case, he'll call a PSB knowing he's going to get odds...if you push he isn't...hopefully he'll fold out and one or both of the shorties will come along, and you stand to be ahead.

I'm still inclined to pot it. I don't care if anyone calls on a flush draw. Let says UTG+2 only calls a PSB of $65 and the two shorties fold. Now the pot has $195, and I have $72 left in my stack. Even if the 4th heart comes on the turn, I am getting all-in because the remaining $72 from me and $72 from UTG+2's flush puts the pot at $339 meaning my $72 is getting 4.7 to 1 pot odds. With 10 outs on the river, I'm 3.6 to 1 to improve to a full house or quad J's, so I've got the odds to redraw. Might as well let them all draw on the flop then and pot size bet it then. The pot odds get even better if the shorties join the fun. Certainly a gambling approach to the hand versus blowing everyone out with an all-in on the flop, but I've got the correct odds to make that gamble.
