Default Re: NL50 - I opt for strange line, get strange action. Now what?

It might be better to just call the flop and check/raise the turn. If your opponent is way better than most of the other players at this level, he/she might start to wonder why you raised the flop. You are representing better hand than top pair, but you can’t have over pair (AA would have reraised preflop) or two pairs. There are no possible draws, so why reraise with a set on the flop? So if your opponent is really observant, he/she might be able to put you on a top pair or a bluff, because those hands are the most likely holdings. If you just call the flop and check/raise the turn, you could be protecting your set against flush or straight draw. So he/she could more easily put you on really powerful hand and fold (or reraise).

But as played like this, you have no other option than fold.
