Set Mining by KKarlos93
Set Mining
· 1 in 8.5 times you flop a set with a pocket pair· Only set mine in position against your target player· Target player needs to be very aggressive or a calling station· Value bet calling stations and trap the aggressive player· Look to set mine against players that will pay you off when you hit· Your opponent needs a stack more than = 10x(the standard 3x raise)· If you miss the flop FOLD Unless you pick up a good draw
Don’t Set Mine When
· The player is a strong aggressive opponent who controls the pot size· There is a good chance of a re-raise after your pre flop call· There is a big multi-way pot, chances are a small set isn’t good enough· You are out of position· Your opponent doesn’t have enough chips for it to be profitable

when you say opponent should have 10x his raise left to play id suggest it be more like 15-20x
i won't try posting one of you as im sure it will be denied again!!
Good call.
I think that the more players that go to a flop the higher the chance of someone having straight or/and flush draws, also overpairs hitting their higher set. If I am in position pre flop and there are more than 2 players in the hand already, I prefer to raise with a decent pocket pair, 6-6, 5-5, 4-4, 3-3, 2-2 are all getting folded
