Middle set on flushing board OOP

silentbob · August 2010

I promise I'm not trying to take the Don's crown for chief clinic poster!

Player A has been a total fish for the 30 minutes or so I've been here. Every time he open raised pre it was always a min raise regardless of position.

Player B hadn't done anything out of the ordinary that stood out (he's been at the table about 15 minutes or so) but the min 3-bet didn't concern me too much at the time cos that's all everyone seemed to be doing on this table.

My reasons for limping here is partly cos I'm OOP & also if I do hit my set it's more disguised & with player A involved that's good news for me.

Party time on the flop & I'm happy to check here as I'm certain that A or B will bet out. My intention is to c/r. When player B 3-bets strong should we ever be overly concerned or do we just get it in & leave it in the hands of the poker gods?

I'm never worried about anything other than them hitting a draw, so I get as much money in here as I can. The question is do we small-raise to see if A fancies getting involved or just ship the lot in? I'd say the latter more often than not.
