Top set on a flushing flop...what the best move?

Ryan2009 · #1 12-22-2006, 05:50 PM

4th hand at table, no reads. I think I'm ahead on the flop most times but how do I protect my hand and maximize EV?

Preflop

UTG raises to $1
MP reraises to $1.75
HERO reraises to $5 A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (not enough?)
B folds
Blinds fold
UTG folds
MP calls

Flop A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (Pot $11.35)
MP bets $1
Hero....

Thanks for any words of wisdom.

Raise pot size.

1) He flat calls...

2) He pushes...

If turn is 4th heart or K, Q, should I give it up unless its a small bet?

I think call a flop push, right?

Thanks.

Stack sizes? I agree with a PSR on the flop, but that might commit us, in which case pushing outright is better.

100BB each. BB is .25

1) if you fill up push over any turn bet, if not call a small bet probably fold to a push.

2) call

definitely PSR on the flop. If you get RR all in, call. You don't want to see another heart here. Shove the turn if he just calls.

I guess you are afraid of the hearts, in general, your set already has 1/3 pot equity on a flush flop. So even the few times you are behind here, your hand can improve. If you can shove on the flop, I'd do it, but if you can't. I'd do it on the turn.
