Re: 50nl, I has a set! sigh i suck?
Why did we slow down after raising preflop?
If these guys are the donks you say, are they really going to fold on the flop? |

Yep I didn't calculate the stacks right. Shove is definitely best now. [/ QUOTE ] I admit. I'm missing something. Is the shove advised here because we're thinking that they don't have a flush draw after cold calling the turn like that ? I'm so used to people chasing draws at micro stakes - that I always fear flushes especially with two other players in. |

[/ QUOTE ] Basically, if we decide we're calling a river bet when alot of the time its better the shove because worse hands won't generally bet the river, but worse hands will certainly call a river bet. So by shoving, or betting close to a shove we're getting worse hands to call, depsite getting called by better hands a portion of the time. Which in the long run will add up as we were already going to be paying off better hands |

OK - That makes sense, but...
Why were you not afraid of the flush here, though ? I still don't get that ? |

I don't see why the flop chekc is that bad, no turn cards really hurt us... [/ QUOTE ] You just flopped a monster, you want to build a pot. It's easier to do that with moderate bets on all three streets than it is with bigger bets on just two. |

Or a better set? More importantly, you want to stack people. Its quite rare that you'll have opponents this foolish who will get their entire stack in with top pair crappy kicker -- having two in the same hand is even rarer. Quite often to stack someone it might take 3 streets of betting. |
