Default Re: PLO25: Middle set in raised pot

If you want your best chances of taking down a decent pot, then pot it now. I'm pretty greedy though and sometimes I like to smooth-call here hoping either for a raise from the SB or BB trying to "protect" their rag 2 pair, or am willing to take a chance giving the blinds a cheap turn. UTG is going to get it in either way I feel like. By smooth-calling in this spot, you give yourself the chance for a bigger pot, but also obviously risk losing what in this spot looks like a solid pick-up anyways. The reason I like the smooth call here is because you have position on everyone and even if a flush or str8 hits the turn, the blinds are oftentimes going to stupidly check it anyways and give you a chance to catch up on the river.
