Default Re: 5/10NLCASH - Top set on bad board vs. c/r what\'s your line and why

Folding top set is out.

Calling here seems bad to me because of so many scare cards to hit the turn (heart, K,J,8 etc) that will kill your action if you are ahead or force you to fold if he bets out. As well, just calling here means you will probably have to call down at least one more bet if not two on the turn and river.

So, its either raise or shove IMO. His range for check raising here is pretty large and you are ahead of most of it (lower set, two pair, draw) and have redraws against a made straight or flush. If you make a raise here you will fold to a reshove? That sucks either way IMO. I like a shove to shut down semi bluffs and you still have lots of value from lower sets and 2 pair that may call you down.
