flopped a set with 3 people in the pot, raise or cold call?

    Default flopped a set with 3 people in the pot, raise or cold call?

    Ok, some background on the hand. I had been at the table for a while. I had about a 35 hand sample on Villain. He is 38/10. With a hand he sometimes is willing to gamble. In a previous hand I had raised and gotten 2 callers. I c-bet the flop and got called. I fired a second barrel and it was folded to Villain. He said, "What the hell I will gamble." and went all in ( it was only a couple more dollars over my bet). He turned over 77 against a K 9 3 6 board. He took a lot of money from me on that hand.

    UTG is pretty fishy. In about 70 hands he is 29/0. He seems to call a lot and when seeing the flop his seen showdown % is 25.



    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG ($14.15)
    UTG+1 ($101.90)
    MP1 ($15.70)
    MP2 ($49.75)
    CO ($56)
    Hero ($58.10)
    SB ($49.80)
    BB ($55.20)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with J, J.
    UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 raises to $2, 3 folds, Hero calls $2, 2 folds, UTG calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($6.75) 6, J, 8 (3 players)
    UTG checks, UTG+1 bets $3, Hero ......................


    So here is the questions. I have the best hand now but it is possible that a flush could fall on the turn. I can see both of these players calling my raise with suited connectors maybe. This is only from their large vpip number, I have not seen any hands when they call a preflop raise so maybe that indicator is not so good. UTG+1 has a decent pf raise % so he probably has a decent hand. Should I raise trying to draw out a flush draw? Should I cold call to try to build the pot up? Remember UTG still has to act after my action.

    Multi-way with the flush draw out I raise to $12-15 here.

    $9-12 looks about right.

    theres a straight draw out as well that you have to be careful of

    Draw heavy board means that you have to protect hand and price others out from drawing. Bet close to pot or full pot.

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Well played.

    Don't make a habit out of firing second barrels when the villain is short stacked, though. Especially not when he has loose stats.
