How to avoid stacking off with middle set?
Maybe it's bad luck, but the 3 of the last 4 times I've flopped middle set, I've run into higher sets and just couldn't avoid stacking off. The lines have been pretty similar.
-Call a small p/f raise in any position with medium pair, -hit my set (77, 88, etc)on rainbow, uncoordinated flop, -c/r or or rr the flop -raise turn (at which point we then go all in if we haven't already) This has been against loose players and standard TAGs. Against a nit, I might consider folding an all in reraise behind my flop raise... but still, it's a set! How do I play things differently to avoid stacking off? I'm still steaming...

[/ QUOTE ] I have no idea where that number comes from. Sounds kinda like when Sklansky said you should never lose more that 165BB with one pair........also not true. Actually this is a break-even prop long term. |
