Pot is 0.80

Flop TK9 (rainbow)
I check

I raise to 1.30
UTG+1 calls
Pot 3.40

    i think he has A10, nothing much better, but id check, and i think he would take a bluff at it knowing his hand isn't good and i would call any bet
    p.s. i don't like small pp's on 3 overcard flops so woteva happens i just fold, but u made ur play and caught a lucky turn so it seems to have worked out, and altho the river is a scare card, i wouldn't put him on the J and very unlikely a 6 so i'd check call.

    this way...even if he checks back and you win, any bet you make he would fold anyway so i'd say this is the best way to play it.

    You have a problem.. You get it in on the river and only a straight can call you.

    no problem here,sure it looks like hes trying to catch something, or hes hit in some way and hes not that strong,maybe should bang it allin once the set is made..this is rush poker so cud be playin any mukk,..if blackfish checks it looks weak and chances are he'll fold to a bet,if he bets half pot and is raised(he might aswell have shoved it in).

    I'd just like to point out you wrote "no problem here" and just dismissed my problem without stating how its not a problem. And if you missed "the problem" it was if blackfish shoves the river only a straight can call.
     And then you say get it in on the turn, so you want him to bet $8 in to a $3.40 pot. nice one! Oh and I didnt say bet half pot on river. Read my post next time.

    surely winning 3.40 is better than putting himself in the position that he is now in..? IF oppo has made a str8 then its unfortunate,but he may have made 2 prs and could possibly call(thinkin BF is repping the str8)..its never as clear-cut as you say...im often called with lesser hands..i didnt say u said bet half pot(i was suggesting that amount),but what should he bet..?

    I agree it's not clear cut but I don't think either putting $8 into $3.40 with a set is the way to go about it. You lose so much value. And also all in on the river your getting called by a straight a very rarely getting called by 2 pair. You cant thin value bet/stopper bet the river as you have to fold to a shove and if any one stopper bets me on that board on the river im jamming with any 2. I check call river. Most times he checks his top pair or 2 pair behind and you take it down. Other times he bluffs river and you call take it down. Other times he has the straight you call and lose.

    I'd like other peoples opinion on this please..

    fair points..altho if oppo thinks his AK/k10 is winning when the 7 comes on turn,hes probly callin to an all-in..theres plenty of value there..and no tricky situation,or any other loss, if he folds.

    Lol are you kidding me. AK almost NEVER calls $8 into $3.40 there. And he shouldnt show up with K10 as if he has K10 hes getting it all in on the flop after Blackfish's check raise.

    this is penny level poker,not top draw poker..2 prs here is lookin like a monster,specially when the 7 comes. he'd be looking to maximise his value..even top pair top kikka(to alot at this level)is looking pretty sparkly..

    Okay you keep shoving your $8 into a $3.40 pot because your scared a draw might get there. Im done with this now.
