On the flop I have him on 44, on the turn I figure I am free-rolling so I pump it. Should I just flat call the flop raise to let UTG+2 in? I figured I would try to push out any naked low draw or flush draw.

If you are villain with top set, how do you play it here?

i would probably call the flop raise and then bet the turn to put the squeeze on UTG+2 on the turn with the big bets.

villain will never fold top set, so i wouldn't try to get him to do so.

if you want to jam the flop and/or you want people to lay down top set, play plo8.

[off topic whine]
How can this guy chase a backdoor low draw all the way heads up with absolutely no high draw on a paired board? The absolute best he could hope for is getting his money back minus rake. Once they stop actually hitting I might start showing a profit playing this... [/whine]

This one that just happened might be my favorite. I flop middle set with 44, a guy that has called a raise with AJK4 hangs around with a 4 only (no low draw, no high draw for a massive 4% equity) to catch runner-runner top boat. Was a bit too funny for me to be upset at it.

Fun game, but very, very frustrating at times.

Another turn jam. Opponent is 25% vpip and extremely aggressive post flop.

Very good point about not raising the flop in hand #2 since I have no high. This probably IS a leak, trying to "protect" my low against counterfeitting when I should be trying to get dead money into the pot. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll change that right now.

Opponent had 44 for the low set, so I had 75% equity on the turn which is great. Unfortunately I missed my freeroll.

Just calling the 3-bet in hand #2 also seems better. I think I got caught speeding here. He did indeed have A26x.
