NL5 Best lines for extraction with flopped set.

This is $5NL. Open pushing the flop here would be better than checking and hoping he bets. I think Sir Winalots Pot Pot, Shove line is best, but pot the flop and push the turn will work too.

with small sets ive taken to betting since most people will call or raise with TP. then you hit the boat... i guess your only option as played is to check and feign the flush draw and hope he hit the 6. i never min raise preflop.... i never raise with 44 unless on the button and folded to. y lead here, you have a very disguised hand. check and call.. maybe lead a blank river for some real confusion.

why would he put you on anything... its 5nl.. i would bet even many 2p2, including myself, have trouble with completely accurate reads.

As I have read so many times here, "they always put you on AK". With a preflop raiser it is definitely the first hand I consider cuz' it is one of the few that gets raised consistently at these limits.

I think the most value here (especially on NL 5) is SirWinAlot's line. Pot Pot Shove. You are only getting value here from an ace, a flush draw or a strange two pair. So why not bet if the hands that are giving you value are calling your bets anyway? You may induce a bluff from an underpair by checking on an ace high board, but you're certainly not stacking him. Against a flush you are giving away a free card and against an ace you are often loosing value (depending on the agression of villain).
Furthermore if you played so passively and the turn comes a spade and you show aggression, you might loose even more value as this is a scare card if villain doesn't atleast hold a spade in his hand. Vice versa villain may get over aggressive on a hit flush and it may put you in a tough spot, especially if you call and the river card doesn't pair the board.
