.5/1 My set is crushed here, right?

[Johnes Benjamin]

Villain is running around 10/6 over ~300 hands. I really should have bet the flop but MP3 was a huge donkey so I
guess I was just hoping Villain wouldn't get involved and I was going to c/r donk.
This is my first OP so please help me get it to look right.

MP3 =#A500AF(MP3)/ ($93)

Hero ($97)
MP2 ($57.50)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 4, 4.
2 folds, Hero calls $1, 1 fold, MP3 raises to $4, 2 folds, SB (Villain) calls $3.50, 1 fold Hero calls $3.

Flop: ($13) 4, 5, 6 (3 players)
Villain checks, Hero checks, MP3 bets $6, Villain raises to $18, Hero ???
Call and reevaluate turn is first thing that came to mind. I was pretty sure I was behind but I flopped a friggin' set right??!!! What if I had 55?

Change format to 2+2.

Folding is not an option! SB could very well be on a draw, two pair or over pair here.

I like a call . If we shove MP is probably going to fold his overpair, but if we just call he might raise, or at the very least call.
If a blank falls on the turn its an easy bet. However WTF do we do when the straight or flush completes??? I'll leave that for someone else to answer [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Johnes Benjamin]

Maybe the real question is the turn so I'll complete it, but I'd still appreciate flop comments.

I Called $18 on flop and MP3 folded. 3h fell on turn and Villain bet $40, leaving him w/$37.
IF a blank hits river am I shoving over this bet for sure???
He was such a nit I though he had a better set a huge % of the time.

[crunny]

oops, i didn't see stats for my last post. I'm folding on the turn.

FWIW I am pretty sure a 10/6 would play 77 this way as well as sets (and maybe other hands too).

[otc]

why are you checking the flop?

[SABR42]

I shove here and feel ok about it.
