5/10 - flopped bottom set

[tyboy74]

I dont think folding on the flop is a good option. You have flopped bottom set of a flop of (8,5,2) The only hands that have you beat at this point is pocket 5 and 8. As stated in previous post. If you are going to fold here then why would you even play this hand in the first place? The flop came just as you have hoped for. I think the only real debate here is calling or raising. I think the best play here is to smooth call and bet or raise on the turn. This way you allow the donkey to trap himself even more. Of course the downside is that a scare card like a 6,7 or 9 can come on the turn. But nothing venture nothing gain. In poker you have to take risk and this is not even that big of a risk. And even if one of those scare cards come, your opponent still have to be holding the two perfect card to make a stright to beat you.

Can't someone tell OP what he wants to hear so we can let this thread die? You should obviously fold here, button has a higher set.
