What do you do with your set here?
Villain is a pretty smart reg, knows when to fold and such. I think he might have a lowish opinion of me because I check-called him with 2nd pair in a BvB situation, and turned 2p for some value.
$0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem 6 players Converted at weaktight.com Stacks: UTG (<font color="#0000cc">$38.65</font>) UTG+1 (<font color="#0000cc">$6.40</font>) CO (<font color="#0000cc">$88.55</font>) BTN (<font color="#0000cc">$55.35</font>) Hero (<font color="#0000cc">$50.00</font>) BB (<font color="#0000cc">$53.65</font>) Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is SB 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] UTG calls $0.5, UTG+1 calls $0.5, <font color="#777777">2 folds</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2</font>, BB calls $1.5, <font color="#777777">UTG folds</font>, <font color="#777777">UTG+1 folds</font> Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($5, 2 players) <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $3</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $6</font>, I lean towards a 3-bet since the board looks drawy, but do you? Or do I flat it and let him keep going? Thanks.

Re: What do you do with your set here?
No need to get fancy here ,just 3bet this flop.
I'd also advise to raise more pf, or you'll often end up playing a 4way pot oop, and you'll have to check/fold a lot of flops.

17ish all day, calling this flop is terrible But wtf is up with your preflop? Make it 3-3.5 or just complete [/ QUOTE ] Because raising to 2 often folds out the limpers as well as 3 does, and I don't want to play a bigger pot OOP? I'm liable to get floated and 88 isn't a great hand in that spot. The 4BB+ thing isn't a strict rule, it's a guide. As long as I'm not raising strong hands one way and weak hands another or something, and keeping my bets pretty interchangeable, I don't see the problem.

Im just guessing but PF is alright sometimes as a pot sweetner to make the betting bigger for when we hit a set.
But yea standard is raise more or complete. 3bet flop.

Plus raising more makes it easier to gets stacks in when we do hit

Re: What do you do with your set here?
Well.. your wrong. 2 and 3 makes a big difference. You announce you have a big hand by raising the SB. Either way, if you uncomfortable playing 88 form this spot you can always limp. Making tiny "sweeteners" is a huge leak.

Re: What do you do with your set here?
Isn't 88 vs. 3 players just fine with me? Isn't a set the type of hand that I don't mind going multi-way with?
Not that I'm trying to keep people in pre, but it seems like 3 callers with AK is different than 3 callers with 88, since my "made hand" is much stronger and disguised in the latter case.
