Default Re: 4/180, Flopped a set

If the CO is a tight player, bet. However if he was aggressive, I'd check to see if the CO wants to go all in with his last 500. This may even induce a call from the big stack, allowing you to push him off his hand, and at that point the worst that could happen to your set is virtually break even.

However if both to CO and BB check, you must bet on the turn unless another spade shows. If the third spade comes, now you'd be looking for a boat, your betting would be borderline suicidal, and your calling requirements change accordingly.

Boils down whether or not you're willing to risk a spade on the turn.

This is pretty bad advice, IMO. Checking the flop after raising PF looks pretty suspicious, and allows opponents with draws to peel off a card for free.

We have the nuts right now, and we should be interested in building a pot, trying to get all the money in the middle. You don't accomplish that by checking.

I really can't even begin to express how bad checking this flop is.
