Flopped set - live cash game

if there is anything to take from this it is "please don"t listen to local casino donks" - they are as results orientated as it gets.

I don"t play cash much, forgetting the flop, this is pre, but tbh utg 10 handed, yeah you have limped in for £1 but when it is raised to £6 and there are 3 to act after you, I cant see im calling £5 raise with 22. You say you are happy to see the flop limped for £1, why call the £5 raise with 22?

It"s a perfect spot to call with 22, as the other two limpers are unlikely to re-raise, and if they do it"ll be a significant bet and you can then fold having only invested 6xBBs.
The reason we play 22 is to set mine, and this flop is what we wanted. The fact it"s been raised pre-flop is even better, as that enables us to get our whole stack in easier, rather than trying to build the pot over the streets.
If you can get 77xBBs in on this flop - that"s a +EV move and exactly where you want to be. You lose the hand, just shrug and reload.

Am I the only one not happy with the raise on the flop
Post flop the pot is £25 (i presume the bb folded). He leads for £8 (£32) and you only raise a further £22 (£8 to call) making the pot £62. He needs to call £22 to win £62 and is getting approx 3/1. Not quite enough to make him fold especially if he thinks if he hits his 2 overcards then 1 pair is good
I"d have re raised to nearer £50 or £55 on the flop

Why do you want him to fold?!?!?!?!?!?!
LongshanksED:
I obviously don"t want him to fold but I dont want to give him the correct odds on calling but it"s a cash game and not a tourney. In a tourney I want to be getting it all but in cash this is immediately a 30bb pot and adding around 30% to my stack (if we started at 100bb). I"ll take that every time I flop a set to see a constant profit!
