Why you should bet the flop with a set
Sometimes I betray my own instincts and experience, and this is what I get:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)
Hero ($104.90)
MP ($50.95)
CO ($28.55)
Button ($67.45)
SB ($97.15)
BB ($19.95)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with 4 , 4 .
Hero raises to $3, 3 folds, SB calls $2.50, 1 fold.
Flop: ($7) 4 , A , K (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.
Turn: ($7) 7 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $4, SB calls $4.
River: ($15) Q (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $11, SB calls $11.
Final Pot: $37
SB has As Kd (two pair, aces and kings).
Hero has 4c 4s (three of a kind, fours).
Outcome: Hero wins $37.
He probably would have felted had I started the betting on the flop. We were "slowplaying each other". The turn killed a lot of potential action with the flush out.
This flop was a must bet, and it probably cost me at least $50
