More maneuvers with sets...

I'm starting to really enjoy hitting sets for the first time in awhile.
Can't believe a spade comes at the river... that pissed me off pretty good. You like these bets?

I don't get why you don't make bets like your turn push when your hand figures to be in better shape.

I usually just go to war on the flop, he told us he likes his hand, we have a set, lets gamble!

As played, I call the turn and fold to a big river bet.

Almost exactly as in my other thread: I figure him for TP. ergo, my hand is in great shape on the turn (note: if TP, it's impossible that he's got the flush already).

I know 25NL loves TP, but I can't remember the last time such a flop bet got called by TP. There's definitely an art to this...

I wasn't talking about just this hand.

wow i might just 3bet all in on this flop at these stakes.

4-bet the flop while he's still in a betting mood and hope he takes it personally.
