Take it down now?
Here's something I need to work on in NL. Options:
1 - Donk the flop 2 - Check/call flop, checkraise turn 3 - check/call flop, donk turn 4 - check/raise flop. I was leaning toward just calling the flop and spraying chips into the pot on the turn, but once they both called the pot got so big that I thought it was worth trying to take down right there. Yeah or no? Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) BB ($46.83) Hero ($24.45) MP ($26.95) CO ($104.95) Button ($33) SB ($27.90) Preflop: Hero is UTG with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10.

b/3b ai. Push turn if they dont raise you on flop.

Re: Take it down now?
why would you want to take down the pot on the flop? induce big mistakes, rather than helping your opponents play correctly

Re: Take it down now?
you want money hree, not to "take it down".
Given reletive position, I like the C/R here |

The first thing you should be thinking when you hit a set is, "OK, how can I get his stack?" Adjust from there if the board is really scary. |

Re: Take it down now?
This board misses most of MP's range so I'm not concerned about him being on a str8 draw, more likely SB has some piece of it.
I'd lead flop, if MP raises and SB sticks around 3bet, if MP raises SB folds smooth call and c/r turn. |
