Post results please.

What about flopping top set on a 3-suited board? Do you just check-call and hope the board pairs?

Thanks for the sideways compliment lol. I am glad I read this post. I can see I need to be more agressive and less 'nitty'. I thought I was, but clearly I need to think about it some more.

I am wondering though if this situation exists at a fullring table would you all agree to shove here?

[chucky]

Depends on villian. If villian is nut peddler you can fold because on flop you can not get pot odds to call. Against aggressive players you can felt it.

Janelle,

Rather than considering how you fare vs the nuts only, figure out how you are doing vs his entire hand range..

[chucky]

So tell me his range?

No. Chasing boats on flush boards is a huge leak. The scenario deoesn't really apply anyways because it's rare that an OOP player will bet out into a 3-suit board, especially when it has been 3-bet preflop.

Calling a PSB hoping to see the board pair is a leak, of course, but calling a 25c bet to win a 1$ pot for example seems standard to me..

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all the replies. Results are below. My thoughts at the time was I was pretty wary of JTxx and hence why I called, however after the hand I realised just putting the guy on this hand was (or at least weighting it heavily) was very weak and he would do the same with QQ, 99, maaaaybe AA (he is a total unknown after all but probably 4-bets pre) and 2 pair type of hands as others have said. Turn plays itself after a check. I think a shove is best on the flop.
