Default Re: I has a set

I is not scared of KQ just yet. My concern is in maximizing equity. However, the two concerns can be balanced in this situation. Calling should provide the same amount of money going into the pot as raising, but there is little risk involved. The risk that IS there, of course, is that you're letting SB draw to a possible gutterball, but the parlay of SB HAVING a 4outer AND hitting it is remote enough that you should not worry about it. Call here, raise the river if SB folds here, otherwise repeat plan on river. Might as well raise on a board pairing river because in that situation, still only one more big beat is going into the pot, but in this case, you have to have the best hand, UTG is still going to pay you off, but you can now safely get the extra monies from SB's call as well. I'd not like to raise a river of an ace or a Jack.
