Default Re: Playing medium pairs with flopped overcards

Well its hypothetical, if you get the chance to be heads up with the CO you can play it out. If you get 2 callers, I am not sure.

This seems to me like a really bad idea. With 5 or 6 in the pot you have to assume CO has the goods, so why do you want to get heads up with a two-outer?

With the overs and that many in the pot, you need to hit the set to win. To make it profitable, you need to get paid very well when you do hit. I think the only way you play this hand for any more bets is if everyone in the pot is passive.

So, for #1 you check behind. For #2, you call only if you think most everyone behind you will call and not raise. For #3, same thing.

If there's any doubt, muck.
