Default Re: ($24) Top set on three-to-the-straight flop. Line check

Check the turn, likely holding for either players are 22, 66, and it hits on the turn. This is one of those situations in which you are either way ahead or way behind. When you check the turn you give off weakness, so they may fire a bluff, or they may be betting for value now because they were hoping to raise you on the turn. Therefore you call the river, not raise all in, because the only holdings they will call you with have you beat.

You must bet the turn here. Anyone that made a pair of aces might call anyway. And against two opponents, there's no way I'm giving a free card. There's so many worse hands that are going to pay you off (TPTK, two pair, undersets, higher PPs, AK/AQ/AJ) that checking behind is a terrible mistake.
