WWYD flopped bottom set...

<< < (2/4) > >>

Fatcatstu:
Thinking too hard here dave. You call pre with 33 to hit a set. you have hit a set. You have 2 people going potty before you. Call, win huge pot (hopefully)

deanp27:
Just pondering whether to put my hand in the air first before calling, especially in a re-entry tournament - i"d need to know blind levels to know how quickly I snap it off though

pokerpops:
Yeah I called. I guess i was always calling, but I tanked it for a while on the basis that the first flat call could very easily be 55, and conceivably be JJ.

I snap one shove, especially the BBs but it seems to me that snapping two is a touch hasty, and snapping two with your hand in the air to high five the dealer may prove embarrassing.

BB had J rag, the re-shove was with QQ.

deanp27:
Probably doesnt reshove the nuts on a super dry board. Only hand I thought he could possibly have that beats you is 55 as many players will snap squeeze TT-KK pre and maybe flat AA. So kind of surprised to see queens. Thing is though he has alot of Jx hands which is why I think your call is v easy.

tbf, the standard isn"t wonderful in the early stages of these. 2nd is attainable just by running good for a day and a half ;-)

55 was my major concern and I chose not to rush to a decision just because I"d called to hit a set and done so. His seat (which was one to my right, not left as written originally) was one where flatting the raise with a small pair made sense. Just like it did for me.
If you then flop a set obviously you want to get it in.
if our seats were swapped then I"d have shoved my set with him still to act.

Why wouldn"t anyone want to at least consider the chance that they were behind to a bigger set in this spot?
