400 NL: Non standard line with set
 

Villain is 25/18/3 and just very aggressive in general. I'm like 21/16/3 or so.

Is this good/bad/ugly?

I would just CR the flop, as these are the kind of flops where people put you on a draw and felt AA/KK/QQ. I guess the advantage to playing it as such is that you represent a weak hand, maybe TT/T9s/A9s, and he will valuebet slimmer, but it's going to suck when the 8d falls.

Very opponent dependant, usually bad though. I only like it if villain has a propensity for double and triple barreling percieved weakness.

Re: 400 NL: Non standard line with set
 

I'm fine with it. When we just call that flop it looks like we might have top pair, a fd, or sd. None of those hit so I could see him calling that CR sort of light.

In general i cr flop though.

dont like on a board like this oop.

Re: 400 NL: Non standard line with set
 

This is a good board to cr bluff on which is why I cr with sets/two pair here as well.

Re: 400 NL: Non standard line with set
 

like others have said, i don't like this on this board at all since you don't want to be outdrawn and villain is unlikely to give you credit.

if you want to play a set passively against a guy like this i'd do it on a dry K or A hi board where he may decide to fire multiple barrels.
