Default Re: playing suited one gappers on a good flop.

Well all things considered this is a really great flop. People aren't likely to be limping with 96, 93, or 63, so really the only hands that bother us right now are those sets which definitely could have hit.

A) I'm putting out a good sized bet here, in the area of the pot. I'm going to take the initiative and if I take down the pot, great. If not, plenty of outs.

B) I'm sticking in a pot-sized raise here, hoping to take it down, but if the hand progresses, again lots of outs.

C) This scares me. After lots of limping and a dry flop, one guy shoves out a PSB and a 2nd says he's got better. Somebody has the best hand and it's probably not us. Even if he's only raising on a flush draw, it's almost certainly higher than ours, crushing our number of outs. If one of them has a set already, we're way behind too. I'm getting out of this one.

D) A PSB to me, I'm raising hard, possibly shoving depending on the stack sizes. All that limping could have included a hand with a 9, and they're betting top pair, or an overpair to the board. I'm not afraid of those hands, and I'm gonna take them to the felt, or take the money they threw in the pot.
