I was getting money in at a fairly good rate, perhaps could've bet a bit more on Turn, but high cards popping in &amp; drawy board made me close down a bit, especially River.

Should I bet bigger? what to do with the raise?

Re: bottom set - how crazy do you go?
 

Def 3bet here. Pushing would be ok too but I'd be a little afraid that he can get away from his hand then. If he has 66 so be it, QQ,TT and KK should not be in his range here and if he continued on flop and turn with either J9 or AJ then he's total retard...I'd be absolutely willing to play for stacks here.

Re: bottom set - how crazy do you go?
 

i'd say he either has QT or 66... u definitely have to call on the river here, im not sure what value 3betting would have, its villain dependent.

I think your bet sizing on each street is fine

Re: bottom set - how crazy do you go?
 

I think you'll see KQ here more than anything else (if I was in this hand, that's what I'd put villain on and I'd probably 3bet shove. I'd bet 2 on the flop and as played, I'd bet $4.50-$5 on the turn. You really want to get money into the pot ASAP so that you can get maximum value on the river.

FTR, I don't think villain is playing 66 this way as they'd probably raise the turn. Just my opinion though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Grunch

You're bet sizes stink. They are too small on every street.

As played, push river. The most likely hand you're up against is 2 pair. Most of the higher sets would have raised preflop. And it would be weird for an AJ/J9 straight to hang around on the flop and then turn.

J9 should definitely call turn, but flop is a different story.

Re: bottom set - how crazy do you go?
 

I'd bet $2 on the flop.

As played, bet $4.50 on the turn.

I'd shove the river, he has KQ a ton.

Re: bottom set - how crazy do you go?
 

The only hand [that he could likely have] that beats you is 66, and he would most likely have raised pre-river with this holding.

He has KQ a high enough percentage of the time to make raising the right option I think.

Re: bottom set - how crazy do you go?
 

I'd probably shove and curse out loud when he shows a slowplayed KK rofl.

AJ of hearts is plausable, especially if villain has a history of floating flops. I just call the raise, but agree with others that bigger bets on the flop and turn should of been done.
