If you don't have position you are going to have to check-fold a lot of flops and if you do hit your set you aren't likely to get as much action on it because you were a preflop raiser. Raising might stop junk hands like 10-6 from seeing a flop and flopping a straight on a 7-8-9 board, but to be honest that isn't going to happen very often and when it does you just can't do anything about it. Even when it DOES happen you are only behind you will still win about a third of the time (cardplayer calculator).
Strictly speaking about flopping sets on coordinated boards, you just shouldn't worry about it too much.Statistics: Posted by Bob314 — Thu Jan 13, 2005 8:15 pm
