also, I would call behind here with a set too so it disguises when you are calling in position looking for the board to pair and when you are hoping it doesn't pair.

Here's an example that came up the other day.
$0.25/$0.5 Pot Limit Omaha Hi
6 players
Converted at
Stacks:
UTG ($27.60)
UTG+1 ($103.00)
CO ($39.40)
Hero ($69.65)
SB ($47.75)
BB ($79.35)
Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is BTN
![[6h]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/6h.gif "The Six of Hearts")
![[8c]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/8c.gif "The Eight of Clubs")
![[Kc]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Kc.gif "The King of Clubs")
![[5h]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/5h.gif "The Five of Hearts")
UTG raises to $1.75 ($25.85), 1 fold, CO calls $1.75 ($37.65), Hero calls $1.75 ($67.90), 2 folds
Flop:

![[Qc]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qc.gif "The Queen of Clubs")
![[7c]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/7c.gif "The Seven of Clubs")
($6, 3 players)UTG bets $5.50 ($20.35), CO calls $5.50 ($32.15), Hero raises to $28 ($39.90), UTG folds ($20.35), CO folds ($32.15)
Final Pot: $22.50
Hero wins $43.90 ( won +$14.15 )
CO lost -$7.25
UTG lost -$7.25
My question is: Could it possibly be higher EV, although definitely higher variance, to not raise the pot on the flop? Either raise less to make your hand less obvious or take some other action.
Of course in these micro/low stakes games there are many more chances that you're going to run into someone that can't fold an inferior hand anyway, but for the purpose of the question would it be ok to assume that you are telling them your hand by potting it?
