    Default Best Way to Get Value out of Set w/ FD

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    BB ($7.75)
    UTG ($10.50)
    UTG+1 ($8.20)
    MP1 ($62.40)
    MP2 ($11.25)
    MP3 ($65.50)
    CO ($64.85)
    Hero (Button) ($54.15)
    SB ($77.90)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 10, 8
    6 folds, Hero bets $1, SB calls $0.75, 1 fold

    Flop: ($2.50) 5, 8, 2 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $1.50, SB raises to $5.50, Hero calls $4

    Turn: ($13.50) 8 (2 players)
    SB bets $8, [color=#CC3333]

    I feel like I have the best hand here, and I don't think he would be betting out with a set or an AKflush draw...

    Does reraising seem like a better way to get his money in? or just flat calling?

    this is called 'trips' or 'three of a kind,' not a 'set.' A set is when you hold a pocket pair hand hit a third card of your pair.

    As far as the hand goes: both of your ranges are still very wide due to this being a BvB situation. Since both ranges are still wide - I'm flatting to disguise the strength of my hand. Feel really happy about many river cards and just about every action villain takes on the river.

    Looks like you should call down all the way

    I flat because when we raise we generally overrep our hand and it looks like a set (which is a full house on this board)

    and bet river if checked to
