I'm actually not sure I agree with this..

At low limits I always had just one line for stacking people with sets. Note, in this we're assuming that you have called someone elses raise preflop.

In position:
The opponent usually leads out on the flop. Unless there is some serious drawing oppertunities for his hand range (AA-TT, AK-AJ) then I just call. The turn is where I like do my raising. If he leads out then I'll 2.5x his bet and hopefully we get it all-in. Note that if the villian checks at any point in the hand then I take up the betting for him. At no point does he get an oppertunity for a free card.

Out of position:
I like to check the flop around to the preflop raiser. Usually he bets and I just call. Then I check-raise the turn and again hopefull get it all in. If he checks behind on the turn or just calls my raise then you have to bet into him on the river. Usually something like 1/2 pot is best.


The reason I think leaving the raising until the turn is because it lets the pot grow a bit and gives the villian a chance to feel pot commited in the hand. He thinks he can fold if I check-raise him because the pot is so big. Also I don't like taking control of the betting, i like the opponent to feel that he is being the aggressor and has the best hand.
