100NL: Set on Flush Board, Fold or call ?

Exar_Kun · #1 08-24-2007, 05:17 AM

No reads, just sat down. What is standard here vs. this many people. Villain pushed and could be on a Flush draw, but not many people at this level are that clever ?

Everest Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50/$1 (HH Converter by Kreatief)

CO (100.55)
Button (135.90) (Hero)
SB (58.85)
BB (110.50)
MP2 (98.30)
MP3 (64.75)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
1 folds, MP3 raises to $3.50, Hero calls $3.50, SB calls $3.00, BB calls $2.50,

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ( $14 )
SB checks, BB checks, MP3 bets $5.00, Hero raises to $29.00, 1 folds, BB raises to $106.00, 1 folds, Hero ???

Good golly get the money in. You're probably ahead, and if you're not, you're getting equity from the pot equal to what you need to justify calling.

call and pray

I have a lot of difficulty playing a hand like this on a flush board. Whats the general rule, get it in and pray ? Even if I had only made a small bet and someone insta-pushed ? (given me worse odds).

At this level I don't get a lot of thinking players and have recently only met completed flushes, in this kind of situation, but surely I can't fold or do anything else.

kinda sucks because the pots protected already and hes showing alotta strength but i think u gotta go with it and get all in. Might be a different story if board was 567 all hearts, then a fold might be acceptable but i dont even really know.

the line of the BB looks really strong to me so i'd expect to see a flush here but given the odds you get just stick it in. you still have lots of outs if you're behind.

If we had been first to bet (about pot) and someone insta-pushes, would you do anything different here ?

general consensus is don't fold a set on the flop

You're getting odds to call.
