Is raising pot the right move?

Raising with the nuts can never be a mistake.

i think i´d rather give him some rope. you have the nuts, blockers to a higher str8 and two backdoor flush draws while villain prob has an overpair. there aren´t too many cards to be scared of plus he´ll fire again on the turn for sure.

[selvole]

calling was my first intention (for the reasons u mentioned).
Then I decided to raise. I never slowplay anything less than
quads in PLO.
Do you think a set (esp. top set) will ever fold to a PSR?

Let's turn it around: would you call here if you had top set hoping to fill up?

[wazz]

just call. you're not freerolling anything at this stage, so all you stand to do by raising is get more money into the pot against a very small selection of hands that are freerolling you, fold out hands you have drawing dead, and charge sets to draw out on you in somewhat of a reverse implied odds situation. By just calling here you can find a freeroll with half the deck on the turn and when he pots and you go all-in he might even feel committed with a hand like T98x/lower straights.

@Grinch

I smooth call here. You have the nuts, blockers to higher straight and 2 backdoors.

I'd waiting for the turn to raise pot.

I should have done that.

This is how it ended:

UTG+1 called with top set and filled up.

Am I missing something here:

According to this, one should never fold top set?
I don't get it.
Can someone please explain these numbers to me?
Thanks

If you have top set and you'd know that two people both have the straight then clearly you want a 3-way allin. HU top set is not a mathematical favorite so you wouldn't call a potsized bet if you knew for sure that your opponent has a straight.

@Sondring: raising with the nuts can be a mistake. In this case saying it's a mistake is perhaps a bit crude but it's certainly suboptimal, and the deeper the stacks are/better your opponents are, the more of a mistake it would be.
