Swinebag:
think you played it fine Waz.
bet size was spot on on flop.
If MP raiser is loose aggressive. Then check raising the flop may be more profitable as this player is more likely to miss the flop and may try and take it down with a cbet.
who agrees?
WYoung83:
One of the problems with set mining during tournys, Not only do u need to hit a 7-1 shot, you also need to get paid off to justify making the call in the first place. I think too many players set mine without the proper implied odds. I do it too, i must admit defending the BB with small pairs is probably a leak in my game.
From the looks of it, if you would of breathed on that pot he was gonna fold.
AMRN:
set mining is fine here Will - remember he"s in the big blind, and the raise was only 2.5x.... to only 1.5x to call.
Waz - played it spot on mate.
WYoung83:
I think i prefer the donk lead Rob, if he checks behind there are a few cards that kill your action, and if he is agressive then he surly sees your donk lead as weakness, and he will come over the top by trying to rep a over pair, somtimes i do this and fall into the trap when someone donks into me with a flopped set.

This is the very reason I get into trouble sometimes, as it doesn"t sit comfy with me re-raising small pair oop, so I"m nearly always just calling, and inveitable missing the set mine, and folding, thinking why didn"t i raise, and so it goes round and round!
Ty for the feedback, and if Rob and Steve think it was played OK, good enough for me anyday! 8)
