Frankly i fold once sb reraises CO. You already block one of your fh outs and you have not committed much money. Do not post results in asking a question.

Not wanting to hijack your thread but just add to it, I played a fairly similar hand this morning: isn't our best case scenario to be up against two nut straights? My push didn't get the result I wanted although in reality there is pretty much no difference between a push and call -

lol, oh.

well, just in case anyone else might be confused. any opinions i gave about the hand in this thread was the op's hand.

mixmasters hand seemed ok based on the pot size by the way. didnt crunch the numbers but instinctively, it seemed like a good gamble play with multiple involvement.......i like to gamble. lol, but only with top set of course

[sqwisssssss]

arrrgh, no, wait a minute. i glanced and didnt read carefully. co didnt come for the ride. no, i dont like this spot at all for mixmaster. if co jumps in then i'm sure its ok to go off with top set.

correct me if i'm wrong.

Yeah, I was gambling that CO would come along for the ride and it would be 3-way (which would leave me in a gambling situation against 2 straights lol - lots of gambling), but as I was sandwiched between the two aggressors, it seemed I scared him off his naked straight - hadn't played too much with him and I don't normally give unknowns the respect that they can fold the nuts in any case.

Just used this hand as an illustration that trying to get a multi-way pot going with top set on a straight board doesn't always get the required results.
