Default Re: 200BB deep, bottom set, ugly action

yeah itd be eaiser if we lead the flop and then i like a reraise but as played i think a call might be best here. i usually agree with pushing sets hard on these boards but hero checked and we are facing 3 bets in front of us. i may be wrong but i havent ever put myself in this spot so maybe my line isnt optimal but this is how id play it

It seemed to me like BB snuck in preflop, flopped a monster (56 or maybe 77/44), doesn't want people to fold, and wants to rope people in while building a pot. He check minreraised for crying out loud. You guys REALLY think he's taking this line with an overpair?

FWIW, I folded. I had planned to nail Button with his overpair or whatever, but after the given action, I couldn't imagine BB having a hand that I could beat. Flame away.

as played i even dont mind a fold. unless villain is a massive donk we arent ahead enough here to warrant a reraise. IMO

yeah i understand berge. the problem here is that hero misplayed his hand and we very likely could be drawing to 1 out so i think a reraise is complete spewage. there is enough action behind us to warrant a flat call in this spot.

We could be drawing to 1 out or need to protect against flush draws/straight draws. If I call, I have no clue which and I'm sitting sandwitched between the two people giving action.

so youre saying to raise to find out where we are at. i do remember reading a post about how bad it is to raise to find out where we are at a few days ago. im not saying you are wrong im just saying that i dont know if your line is optimal. mine might not be either but ive never been in this situation so i couldnt give the exact best answer
