50NL - representing a set
 

The SB is taggish, but bets about 60% of the flops after raising PF. I'd put them on TT+ AQ+ PF, after the flop I'm sure that it is JJ+. Can we ever make them fold here?

Raise teh preflops. I also tend to give alot of respect to people who don't suck and raise out of the blinds because alot of people wouldn't even raise AQs here. I'd rather make a play if he raised in MP or even UTG instead.

I call the flop and reaval the turn as a diamond 6/7/8/J improves our hand.

It's also hard to rep a set here, wouldn't you raise 99/TT preflop? So you're trying to rep. exactly 33? Not many people are going to narrow your range that much.

Do you usually raise 6.5x on dry boards with sets?

Doesn't matter about sizing, SB has about 14 bucks left anyway, which is why you have no equity here raising. He's most likely calling off his stack here.

Didn't notice stack sizes. I assumed since he called a big preflop raise, he did it for implied odds against a full stack WHICH IS THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD CALL A RAISE WITH 78s [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]. That said, I think we have some FE. SB can cbet fold AK. I know if I called a preflop raise for 12% of my effective stack with 78s, there's no way I'm not shoving this flop.

I missed stack sizes to getting ~11:1 in implied odds with a suited connector is not enough.
