Default Re: Is it ever possible to avoid getting busted by sets?

[ QUOTE ]
Against certain opponents, I may take the line of bet the flop, check the turn, and call the river bluff (or bet when checked to in order to represent a bluff).

It wouldn't be unusual for me to bet half the pot and decide whether or not to make a bigger bet that charges draws on the turn. A player with a set will often try to check-raise the turn if I bet this way because he's hoping to get value out of me in case I fire another barrel with two overs, while a player with a draw will often call the flop because I made the price look cheap then won't semibluff check-raise the turn without a scare card because there's only one card to come.

This is fine if we are in position, when OOP, checking induces bluffs, and villian will then usually bet which without a solid read, we cant be sure if its a bluff, TP overpair kind of hands, or set. And by the river, its too late [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] (stacked by set again? damn)
