Default Re: Too Perfect Flop -- What line do you take?

A too small bet may give him proper odds to continue with his hand.

what is wrong with this? the only drawing hand that can suck out on you is the straight, but let's suppose the straight possibility is not there. so many people believe you should not give someone the proper odds to call. You have hit a set, top set i might add. you want to get as much VALUE as you can.

[/ QUOTE ] This is completely wrong. If you give someone the proper odds to call you, then it is a +cEV move for them to call your bet. This is by definition. If it is +cEV for your opponent to call you, then it is -cEV for you when they do.

this is wrong!!!

you are saying that if your opponent is drawing dead even, then that you should not give them the odds to call. this (barring the straight draw, as i stated) is a perfect example of this. your opponent practically is drawing dead. Not every instance is about not giving the proper odds to call. This is one of those instances (agains assuming there are no straight draws on flop) where we need to get MAXIMUM value for the hand.

If you flopped quads, you are also saying that you don't want to give your opponent odds to draw to his hand????
