The Odds God
I am always confused about situations like this. I never seem to know how many raises can I put in after the draw with a set. Predraw I always cap it, even if it is a set of deuces (tell me if this is the right play).

Here is the example where I believe I played like a nit after draw and I believe I should at least bet and call the raise. I believed he had a set here because I don't believe he would reraise with two pair here. It was not a strong read, but I decided to checkcall and now I regret it.

PokerStars Game #8671171352: 5 Card Draw Limit ($0.50/$1.00) - 2007/02/28 - 16:04:29 (ET)

So - how should I play this hand? If I bet and he raises, should I just call or maybe even reraise? Assume solid opponent. I probably should bet and call the raise. Tell me your opinion.

GL and good drawing
