Flopped set, aggression shown- trap or raise?

edited February 2011 in The Poker Clinic
Villain is unpredictable- previously checked quads across to me on river (I took the bait, but tbf- I did have AA). Had one or two small tangles but not seen much go to showdown, he is very capable of bluffing though. Neither me or villain have done any big 3-bets postflop.

Should I flat here and go for the weakness approach- villain seems capable of picking up on this- or assume he has a hand and put in the raise? Very dry board, so the reraise would indicate massive strength, can't rep any draws.

    i would flat. if you raise you fold out any bluffs, check turn let him fire again. if you raise again only hands that beat tp can continue. if he is bluffin let him continue his story & if he has overpair/AQ he will prob bet turn anyway

    I like the lead out on the flop btw

    I would let the timer run down and then flat call him at the last minute. You say he picks up on weakness so just check the turn and see if he fires again. I wouldnt give him the chance to check the river though. Looks like your safe in winning the hand so use what reads you have on him to extract max value.

    well im putting in a min raise here, you just lost with AA and i find people can often get abit more aggresive with mid level cards trying to win back lost money. I cant see him reraising then folding. Im also putting in an 80p raise on the turn giving your opponent the impression, your not a established player at all and this also shows weakness

    This the worst thing possible. It screems that your slowplaying, timer bar tells etc.

    I flat, then check raise turn. Im sure i dicussed this kind of play with you before. So you know why i do it this way. Allows me to show some weakness etc.

    Maybe, but he said the villain picks up on weakness so i suppose it goes down to how he reads this 'slowplaying'.

    Timer bar tells your opponent everything, to quick or too slow and its obvious what we hold. Its like in a live game when u hate the flop u look away.

    well u have to raise here,your looking to get all your chips in here and gain max value,ur plan should be how do i get him to stavk off all his chops on the river or sooner,so its a def re raise

    Whats really calling a re-re-raise on this flop that we beat? By re-raising we telegraph out to our opponent we have a set because of the donk bet. That allows AQ, KK, AA to get away which we dont want.
