Flop a set with 88 and get action, playing it too fast?

Postby Stoneburg » Mon Jul 04, 2005 4:59 pm

Table is pretty LAG, I'm a bigstack and have everyone covered. Chance is short with $9, the others have around $20. Not much of a read on anyone.

chance66 : Calls for 0.20
Sluggern : Folds
Maukka : Folds
Spinales : Raises for 0.40
EddieC14 : Folds
rdbulldozer : Calls for 0.40
Stoneburg : Calls for 0.40 [8d] [8s]
tenkoo : Folds
outnumber : Folds
SmokinPips : Calls for 0.20
chance66 : Calls for 0.20

Flop $2.10 [8c] [Jd] [2s]
------------------
SmokinPips : Checks
chance66 : Bets 0.80
Spinales : Folds
rdbulldozer : Calls for 0.80
Stoneburg : Calls for 0.80
SmokinPips : Calls for 0.80

Turn $5.30 [4d]
------------------
SmokinPips : Checks
chance66 : Went all-in 7.58
rdbulldozer : Calls for 7.58
Stoneburg : Raises for 22.74
SmokinPips : Folds
rdbulldozer : Folds


Should I have just called and hopefully let SmokinPips overcall, and milk some more out of them on the river (assuming they don't backdoor a flush)? I was just SURE that rdbulldozer would call my all-in, and I figured I didn't want to give smokin odds to draw IF by some chance he had two diamonds. Should I have played this slower?

Nope... You played it fine... VERY good chance you have chance66 dead, and there's already a decent pot there... I like the push and isolation...

No reason to let the diamond slide off for "free" when you can pump up the pot now, you might even still get called for better or worse.
