Re: Flopped set on Two Toned board, behind bet and raise

Not quite so, because he quadrupled the pot size. If you only called, the next person would have to call $4.05 to win a $10.55 pot, almost 3:1, which is no where close to you betting $13 into a $2 pot. If you raised to $10, the next person would have to call $10 into a $16 pot. However, with stack sizes, I don't think anyone on a draw is calling that.
I'm not sure whats best. If you just call you're passing on marginal odds for a drawing hand to call, but you're also getting value when the turn bricks. The value of course depends on how many people actually end up calling, but I think that even with only 1 person calling, as long as 50% of the cards that can fall are bricks you're fine only calling.
Edit: On second thought, the above seems wrong, because you could justify betting any size vs draws then, which obviously isn't right. I think you just have to look at it like a $6.50 pot. Min raise is a little more than $7, which is closer to pot than $4.05, so maybe min raise? I'm lost on this hand too, take this post with a grain of salt.
