Default Flopped Set, but 3 diamonds.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (4 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???</font>

Not sure what to do here, I think the only course is raise or fold. Doesn't feel right to fold, but if anyone is holding a low [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] then hopefully they will fold? I don't quite believe it either. Tought spot.

Raise or call and pair the board on the turn. I probably raise now but I think you could also wait for a safe turn.

**grunch**

raise it! ... full flush board - who cares! ... many will pay-you-off holding one diamond (or think you're bluffing)... if it hits - oh well;

Grunch. You might be ahead, and you have 7 outs against a made flush, so I think you have good enough implied odds to call or raise here even though it's two bets. Not sure what the better option of those two is though, but I would probably call.

No way to fold this. Even if you're behind a flush already, you have 7 outs to a boat or quads here; if you miss, you'll have 10 outs on the river.

I think I raise on the flop to try to lose the SB. If SB folds, I call UI on the turn.

It think I even call on the river if the fourth diamond never hits. UTG+1 could well be playing the ace of diamonds this aggressively on the flop.

Raise it, you could very likely get beat by a straight or flush that comes in, but it very well might not come in

and you have a decent chance to boat up and take lots of bets off people who make their straights/flushes.

You think calling is good here? Please explain if you do. I didn't say folding was a high choice, but given the choice between raise, fold, call, I rank them in that order.

If the dots .. represent the closeness of calling and raising, the dot for folding is somewhere in the vicinity of the Small Magellanic Cloud.

Folding is ridiculous even if someone turned A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] x [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] face up.
