I think the way you played it was reasonable- it was a little passive but the pot was sooo multiway, i think thats excusable. Id Still probably raise when the set hit, while it is still true that you are behind to a flush, you still want to get all the straight draws and non-nut four flush draws out of there. Like if someone has the or even the for example, you dont want them sticking around there. You are behind to a flush, but (a) You have a lot of outs, and (b) If the play at the table is passive enough, since you are in position against the bettor, you may even get a free showdown against a non-broadway flush.
However, this is all dependent on the idea that a raise actually WOULD protect your hand - i.e. if the or would still stay in there regardless, then theres probly not much point to raising unless you boat up.
In most reasonable games though, i would have to raise this up on the turn probably. If you got three bet, especially with the straight coming onto the board and the bettor still firing, and getting callers, i think i could let the hand go, thus only losing one extra bet.
However, in the game you were in, you probably were better off just calling.Statistics: Posted by MecosKing — Mon Jul 11, 2005 10:22 pm
