Re: 200nl: set on weird board
my initial reaction: "zomg u flopped 5 of a kind"
some things you might consider:
1) this is an 8-way pot pf. anyone could have anything.
2) the button flatcalls two potsize bets. are there any mega combo draws out? this is a limped pot. what did doyle brunson say about limped pots?
3) put yourself in the button's shoes. do you think the other two people who are pot-betting and calling two streets are drawing, either?
4) i can understand trying to get value out of your set, but you have to find out where you're at somewhere along the line. fine, you have second set, and there's pretty much zero chance of anyone holding AA, but you better hope for a river board pair, which doesn't come, and now you have to fold.
this stinks like 45. what else do you think he has here? aces up flat calling the turn? the line you took makes you look pretty weak, so as played, you're getting closer to a call, but i don't like it much. mind you, i don't know much, either.
