Re: low set on a coordinated board
 

this looks pretty good

Edit: hang on didn't see CO raised PF, you may actually be ahead on turn.

I don't mind the flop bet if you are hoping CO will raise (in that case I would 3bet)

As played you may be able to c/r the turn since everyone else dropped out of the hand.

i'd bet the turn; i'm not ready to put someone on a 4 just yet.

i bet the turn and call a raise with 4:1 pot odds to improve your hand.

I dont mind the check &amp; see approach, but soon as CO bets and everyone else folds I'm c/r'ing.

Re: low set on a coordinated board
 

Bet and c/r the turn? Is this all because of the preflop raise. I'm really rubbish at reading hands, it is one of many weaknesses i am working on.

So, the preflop raise tells me he is unlikely to have the 4? That makes sense.

If I do raise the turn and the river comes A do i check/call for fear of set over set or is it unlikely he holds a pair of aces because he didn't raise the flop bet?

Re: low set on a coordinated board
 

why didn't you bet the turn in the first place?

Don't understand the logic. If you would 3bet, you assume to be ahead. If you are ahead, you want the max money in the pot. If you want that, you don't want CO to face the field with two cold.

Thus, I don't like the flop bet. I'd c/r.

I also raise the turn. And I probably still raise the river. I'm more worried of 89s than A4s and I'm not worried much of either.

Re: low set on a coordinated board
 

Overpairs always raise this flop donk. Overpairs don't always 3-bet flop check raises.

Overcards rarely bet the flop 4-way. Overcards sometimes raise the flop donk.

It's all about getting money into the pot. Betting out is usually better.

Re: low set on a coordinated board
 

I was afraid of the straight.

Should i have bet and folded to a raise? Bet/call? Then what about the river?

Re: low set on a coordinated board
 

He doesn't have the straight, he bet the flop showing strong cards maybe solid suited cards. The A isn't scary, if he had AA he would have been betting away. I think he has Ah and another picture cardl.

Being afraid is nothing to base decisions on.
Its not so difficult to be confident that CO doesn't have a 4, what the other 2 are calling with preflop is unknown to us, but you probably should have at least a vague idea of how their VPIP is ahnd what they do pf. Even if they're calling with rubbish like 74o pf, there's no need to assume one of them must have a 4.
Simply bet the Turn and then seen what happens.
if you get raised by CO and the other guys fold, you are only beaten by a higher set and are in great shape.
If you just get called, bet the River again and 3 bet the river if CO raises, b/c he most probably spiked 2pair.
