Re: Middle Set
Yes of course, you never fold.
But if you push the flop, you get called by all the hands that crush you, and fewer of the hands that you crush. TPGK and over pair are calling you all day long, as is any hand that beats yours, so push or check raise all in or whatever, the money is going all in most likely.
But worse hands might fold to an all in... 2nd pair or other mid pairs, weak draws, whiffed high cards, pure bluff hands, etc. Pushing the flop gives them the opportunity to play optimally, instead of giving them a chance to make a mistake by calling a smaller bet, or inducing them to bluff.
