Defending a Good Flop
Okay, you're sitting on a mid pair that catches a set on the flop. There are 2 or 3 players in, but there are two cards to a straight or flush draw on the board. You want to max your payoff, but are vulnerable to being outdrawn. I know there are a lot of details left out like position, preflop action, etc. but is there a general strategy out here...

I would bet the pot or overbet the pot on the flop and see where it goes from there.

[/ QUOTE ] advocating checking and hoping the turn bricks is a terrible idea. you want to build a bot w/a set. they are less likely to put $ in on the turn than flop, unless they have hit.

Re: Defending a Good Flop
It's always better to win a small pot than to lose a big one.
Protect your hand. Bet the pot size, if you get any callers, look VERY hard for any possible 2-cards-to-a-straight possibilites and also if a 3rd flush card comes be careful as well. Tricky part: If there are straight and flush draws out and the flush hits and the straights miss, don't panic, bet about 2/3 the pot and hope he missed his straight, if he raises, he was flush drawing and you fold.
