HU i would usually wait until the turn, since a lot changes in my equity, if i'm good on the flop it's probably slight and if he throws it in that just becomes a waste of what could have been great equity.

But this doesn't seem like it's true when it's 3 way since they are probably sharing outs which nicely ups my equity here, though i think if i call and a blank hits if SB has a big draw he will bomb the turn again, yet one of them will probably escape to my raise.

Hm hm close. So which do you prefer?

[BluffTHIS!]

There aren't many safe cards in the deck, only those non-diamond ones below 6. And you need to find out if you are crushed by QQ, so I would raise it on the flop.

More questions! So if i jack it and he shoves i'm folding? Wouldn't this push usually be AhKhJx?

[BluffTHIS!]

Yes I would fold to a raise versus a non-lag player because his range is QQ or a big equity draw and you have little defense and no real draws since a 9 probably screws you.

[CallYNotRaise06]

i raise this preflop alot, especially on the button. as played, id probably raise the flop and take it from there.

Jay, I really like your thinking on turn raises with sets. I've been caught out by it a couple of times playing live.
One of the many benefits is it helps avoid those terrible situations where u have a third of your stack in the middle, and a semi scare card falls.

It also gets people (me) to totally overplay top two, and as u say, gives u much better equity against solid draws.

However, I dont think this is a good spot for it. I'd pump it up and call a push. I think your hand and the situation justifies getting stacked by QQ.

If he had a bare qq, u might even spike him with one of your 5 outs if it goes heads up.
