a specific situation with a set. what to do?
I always like to play sets fast (especially on coordinated boards or 2 flush boards). definitely like to raise in position on 2 flush boards (to represent the flush draw) because the TPTK holder usually bets on the nonflush turn and can raise him again. But what do you do if its a bet and a raise to you ?
here is a situation that comes up time to time. What is the best course of action here?
I flop a set in late position on a 2 suited board (meaning 4 to a flush could be out there).
early bets, middle raises (meaning one guy has four flush , other has TPTK), I smooth call, Early 3 bets, Middle calls....hero ??
Lets assume other than early, middle and hero, there are 1-3 other players.
This happened twice yesterday at $8-$16 hawaiian gardens. I ended up capping the flop both times. My logic was that 3-5 people have already called 3 bets on flop, lets have them put 1 more bet right here right now, before some scary turn card freezes all action.
my question is
IS IT BETTER
* to cap the flop right there and take control of the hand and lead the turn (its almost 100% likely to be checked to you on the turn regardless of what falls because smoothcalling then capping is giving a strong hand away !!)
* or wait for a non flush completing turn, and one of the guys will bet and you pop the turn and probably trap some other callers with 2 BB.
What would you do?
sorry if the question is too general or vague.
